Suzuki's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Suzuki reported total carbon emissions of approximately 108,710,000,000 kg CO2e globally, with Scope 1 emissions at about 410,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at around 540,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 107,750,000,000 kg CO2e. In Japan, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 150,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 110,000,000 kg CO2e. Suzuki has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives related to carbon emissions, indicating a lack of formal commitments to emissions reduction strategies such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Suzuki is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not have established a structured approach to mitigate its environmental impact effectively. Overall, Suzuki's emissions data highlights the significant scale of its carbon output, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which encompass the majority of its total emissions. The company’s climate commitments remain vague, necessitating further transparency and action to align with global climate goals.
