The Japan Iron and Steel Federation

The Japan Iron and Steel Federation, a Business Association headquartered in Japan, reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 110,040,000 kg CO2e for 2026. This figure includes an estimated 1,370,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2 emissions, although specific Scope 1 and 2 breakdowns were not provided for this year.

In 2025, the federation's Scope 3 emissions were approximately 131,490,000 kg CO2e, with around 1,400,000 kg CO2e attributed to Scope 1 and 2. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 included approximately 35,670,000,000 kg CO2e from the processing of sold products, 13,100,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, and 4,190,000,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

For 2024, the organisation reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 82,270,000 kg CO2e, with an estimated 1,530,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2. In 2023, Scope 3 emissions were around 89,860,000 kg CO2e, including approximately 1,840,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2.

In 2021, The Japan Iron and Steel Federation reported Scope 3 emissions of approximately 102,490,000 kg CO2e, with an estimated 2,200,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 2.

Historical data shows Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion. For example, in 2019, Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were approximately 172,600 kg CO2e, alongside Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity of approximately 170,340,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2018, Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were around 177,400 kg CO2e, and in 2017, they were about 182,600 kg CO2e.

The Japan Iron and Steel Federation aimed to reduce its Scope 1 emissions to near zero by 2025, based on a target set in 2023. Similarly, they aimed to reduce Scope 2 emissions to near zero by 2025, also based on a target set in 2023. These targets are noted as deleted.
