Terumo

Terumo, a Japanese company in the Medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks industry, reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 1.577 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This comprised approximately 62 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 133 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and about 1.382 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Key Scope 3 categories in 2024 included purchased goods and services (approximately 797.734 million kg CO2e), capital goods (approximately 216.576 million kg CO2e), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 170.231 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, Terumo's combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 196 million kg CO2e in 2024, a decrease from approximately 206 million kg CO2e in 2023, and about 220 million kg CO2e in 2022. In 2018, the base year for several targets, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 61 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were around 221 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 at about 1.147 billion kg CO2e.

Terumo has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by fiscal year 2040. In terms of specific reduction targets, Terumo commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50.4% by 2030, using a 2018 base year. Furthermore, the company targets a 60% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions per unit of revenue by 2030, also against a 2018 base year. These near-term targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
