WAKO's reported carbon emissions

WAKO, headquartered in Japan, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for recent years. As a result, specific figures regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions are not provided. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. This lack of data suggests that WAKO may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments or reporting practices. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, it will be essential for WAKO to establish clear emissions reduction strategies and targets to align with global climate goals.
