Tamron Co.,Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Tamron Co., Ltd. reported significant carbon emissions, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 45,814,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at about 40,297,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions showing a negative value of -5,517,000 kg CO2e. This unusual negative figure in Scope 3 emissions may indicate a reduction in emissions from upstream activities or adjustments in reporting. Over the years, Tamron's emissions have fluctuated. In 2022, the company recorded Scope 1 emissions of about 1,158,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 38,176,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at about 182,509,000 kg CO2e. The trend shows a notable increase in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from previous years, with Scope 1 emissions peaking in 2023. 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. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality, yet it appears to be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. Overall, while Tamron Co., Ltd. has made strides in emissions reporting, further clarity on its climate strategy and reduction goals would enhance its sustainability profile.
