As of the latest available data, Yanmar's carbon emissions for the year 2020 were reported with an intensity of approximately 0.000379 kg CO2e per unit of revenue. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring its environmental impact, although specific total emissions figures for Scope 1, 2, or 3 are not provided. Yanmar has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor does it appear to have formal climate pledges documented. This indicates a potential area for growth in their climate strategy, as many companies in the industry are increasingly adopting measurable targets to reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, while Yanmar is tracking its emissions intensity, further transparency and commitment to reduction targets could enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability goals.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Yanmar is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
