Tokyo Cathode Laboratory Co. Ltd.'s reported carbon emissions
Tokyo Cathode Laboratory Co. Ltd., headquartered in Japan, reported its carbon emissions data for the year 2013, with total emissions of approximately 6,175,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,085,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 3,289,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which notably includes 1,918,000 kg CO2e attributed to purchased goods and services. In previous years, the company reported emissions of 2,913,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 1,918,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 3,894,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3) in 2012, and 3,750,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 4,910,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 4,279,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3) in 2011. The data indicates a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, particularly from purchased goods and services. Despite the detailed emissions reporting, Tokyo Cathode Laboratory Co. Ltd. has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company does not appear to inherit emissions data from a parent organisation, maintaining its own reporting standards. Overall, while Tokyo Cathode Laboratory Co. Ltd. has provided comprehensive emissions data, it currently lacks formal climate commitments or reduction initiatives to address its carbon footprint.
