In 2023, Yamaha Motor reported total carbon emissions of approximately 31,100,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 144,959,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 257,699,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 30,549,563,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from the use of sold products, accounting for about 24,784,905,000 kg CO2e. Yamaha's emissions have shown fluctuations over recent years. For instance, in 2021, total emissions were approximately 28,900,000,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined at about 500,903,000 kg CO2e. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. Yamaha Motor's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its comprehensive emissions reporting across all three scopes. However, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that while the company is tracking its emissions, it may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals.
