Toshiba has established ambitious climate commitments. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2050, guided by its Environmental Future Vision 2050. As a significant milestone, Toshiba is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 70% by FY2030, compared to the FY2019 level. This near-term target applies to Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Furthermore, Toshiba has committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 70% by FY2030, from the FY2019 baseline. Some targets specifically mention reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 28% by FY2030 from the FY2019 level. More recent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments align with reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70% by FY2030, and Scope 3 emissions by 70% by FY2030, both from a FY2019 base year. Long-term, Toshiba aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2050, again from a FY2019 base year.
