Terumo's reported carbon emissions

Terumo, a Japanese company operating in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks (33) industry, has reported significant efforts towards climate action. For the fiscal year 2024, Terumo recorded total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.57 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 62 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 133 million kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling about 1.38 billion kg CO2e. The company's climate commitments include ambitious reduction targets. Terumo aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.4% by FY2030, using FY2018 as a base year. This target is recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. Furthermore, Terumo is working towards achieving carbon neutrality by FY2040. In addition to absolute emission reductions, Terumo has committed to reducing its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 60% per unit of revenue by FY2030, also based on FY2018 levels. The company is also focused on increasing its use of renewable electricity, aiming for a 50% renewable electricity usage ratio by FY2030. Terumo's emissions reporting shows a general downward trend in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 2018 (approximately 220 million kg CO2e) to 2024 (approximately 196 million kg CO2e). While Scope 3 emissions remain the largest component of their carbon footprint, with purchased goods and services and end-of-life treatment of sold products being significant contributors, the company is actively engaged in a range of reduction initiatives.
