Tokyo Cathode Laboratory Co. Ltd., headquartered in Japan, has reported its carbon emissions data for the years 2010 to 2013. In 2010, the company emitted approximately 4,352,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 2,297,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 2,913,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, totalling about 9,962,000 kg CO2e. The following year, 2011, emissions decreased to around 3,750,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, while Scope 2 emissions rose to approximately 4,910,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions increased to about 4,279,000 kg CO2e, resulting in a total of about 12,939,000 kg CO2e. In 2012, the company reported further reductions in Scope 1 emissions to approximately 2,913,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions decreased to about 1,918,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions were around 3,894,000 kg CO2e, leading to a total of about 8,725,000 kg CO2e. By 2013, emissions from Scope 1 were approximately 3,085,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at about 3,289,000 kg CO2e, although Scope 2 data was not disclosed for that year. Despite these emissions figures, Tokyo Cathode Laboratory 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 footprint reduction, yet it appears to lack formal commitments to align with these trends.
