Toyota

Toyota, a Japanese-headquartered company in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, reported its total carbon emissions for 2025 as approximately 514 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.47 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 2.06 billion kg CO2e (or approximately 4.13 billion kg CO2e location-based), and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 509.46 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, Toyota's total emissions were about 589.57 billion kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 600.26 billion kg CO2e in 2023, and roughly 594.08 billion kg CO2e in 2022.

Toyota has set several climate commitments and reduction targets:

• Net Zero/Carbon Neutrality:

  • Achieve carbon neutrality for all global plants by 2035 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, a commitment announced in 2021. This aim was reiterated for CO2 emissions from plant production processes by 2035.
  • Achieve carbon neutrality throughout the entire life cycle of their vehicles by 2050 for all scopes.
  • Aim for net-zero emissions from North American facilities by 2035 for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030 for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Achieve zero CO2 emissions at all plants by 2050 for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Reduce CO2 emissions from corporate activities to carbon neutral by 2050 for Scope 3.

• Absolute Reduction Targets:

  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 68% by 2035 from a 2019 base year. This target is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
  • Reduce CO2 emissions from global plants by 35% by 2050 compared to 2013 levels for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • A near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from North American operations by 15% from a FY2016 baseline, achieved by 2021.
  • Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% from 2020 to 2030.
  • Reduce CO2 emissions from all plants by 35% by 2021 compared to 2013 levels for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Reduce overall GHG emissions by 30% throughout the vehicle life cycle by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.
  • Reduce Scope 3 Use of Sold Products GHG emissions from passenger light duty vehicles and light commercial vehicles by 33.3% per vehicle km by 2030 from a 2019 base year. This SBTi target is consistent with reductions required to keep warming to well-below 2°C.
  • Reduce Scope 3 Use of Sold Products GHG emissions from medium and heavy freight trucks by 11.6% per vehicle km by 2030 from a 2019 base year.

• Intensity Reduction Targets:

  • Reduce GHG emissions from stationary sources by 12% per vehicle produced by fiscal year 2016 from a 2010 baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Achieve a 90% reduction of the global average of CO2 emissions of new vehicles by 2050, relative to Toyota's global average in 2010, for Scope 3 total emissions.
  • Reduce energy use from stationary sources by 12% per vehicle produced by fiscal year 2016 from a 2010 baseline for Scope 1.
  • Aim for an additional 20% reduction in kWh per vehicle across European operations by 2010 compared to 2005 levels for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
  • Lessen CO2 emissions per unit produced by 11% from its 2015 level by 2016 for Scope 1 and Scope 2.
