Topcon's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Topcon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 248,695,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 3,552,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 8,833,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 236,310,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Comparatively, in 2022, Topcon's total emissions were about 228,257,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 172,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 4,209,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching 223,876,000 kg CO2e. This indicates an increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023. Despite the rise in emissions, Topcon has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of documented reduction strategies suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, Topcon's emissions data highlights the importance of addressing both direct and indirect emissions, particularly in Scope 3, which constitutes the majority of their carbon footprint.
