Yamato Transport's reported carbon emissions
As of 2022, Yamato Transport reported total carbon emissions of approximately 902,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. This figure reflects a slight decrease from 2021, where emissions were about 921,000,000 kg CO2e. Over the years, emissions have fluctuated, peaking at approximately 937,000,000 kg CO2e in 2019 and showing a gradual decline from a high of about 930,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined by Yamato Transport, such as those aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction commitments suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not have formalised strategies for significant reductions in the near future. Yamato Transport's emissions data indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and global climate goals.
