Tamron Co.,Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Tamron Co., Ltd. reported significant carbon emissions, with total emissions of approximately 45814000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 40297000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a negative total of -5517000 kg CO2e from Scope 3. This indicates a complex situation in their supply chain or product lifecycle emissions. Over the years, Tamron has shown fluctuations in its emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company recorded 1158000 kg CO2e in Scope 1, 38176000 kg CO2e in Scope 2, and 182509000 kg CO2e in Scope 3. The trend suggests a need for enhanced strategies to manage and reduce emissions across all scopes. Despite these figures, Tamron has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change effectively. Overall, while Tamron's emissions data reveals a substantial carbon footprint, the company currently lacks defined strategies for reduction, highlighting an area for potential improvement in its sustainability efforts.
