Tosoh's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Tosoh reported total carbon emissions of approximately 7,645,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 467,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 5,891,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a slight decrease in Scope 3 emissions compared to 2022, where they were about 7,039,000,000 kg CO2e. The total emissions for 2023, combining Scope 1 and 2, amounted to approximately 8,112,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Tosoh's emissions were approximately 7,787,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 518,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 7,039,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The company has consistently disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Despite the significant emissions figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies suggests that while Tosoh is actively monitoring its emissions, it may need to establish clearer goals to align with industry standards for climate action.
