This data reflects a significant reduction from 2022, where total emissions were about 1,002.0 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 5.0 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 510.0 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 54,500.0 kg CO2e. Tokyo Metro has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, and all reported figures are sourced directly from Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Tokyo Metro has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of formal reduction initiatives indicates potential areas for improvement in their sustainability strategy.
