UACJ Corporation's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, UACJ Corporation reported CO2 emissions of approximately 1,800 kg CO2e per tonne of products manufactured. This figure reflects the company's production efficiency but does not specify emissions across Scope 1, 2, or 3 categories. The previous years show a gradual increase in emissions per tonne, with 2020 at about 1,900 kg CO2e, 2019 at about 2,100 kg CO2e, 2018 at about 2,200 kg CO2e, and 2017 at about 2,300 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, UACJ Corporation has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives related to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The company does not appear to have cascaded emissions data from a parent organization, indicating that all reported data is self-sourced. Overall, while UACJ Corporation provides insights into its emissions per product, it lacks detailed commitments or targets for reducing its carbon footprint, which is increasingly important in the context of global climate action.
