Yanmar's reported carbon emissions

In 2020, Yanmar, headquartered in Japan (JP), reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were not disclosed. The company provided an intensity metric of approximately 0.000379 kg CO2e per unit of revenue (JPY), indicating its energy consumption's carbon intensity. However, no absolute emissions numbers were available for that year. Yanmar has not set specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, and there are no documented reduction initiatives at this time. The absence of detailed emissions data and reduction strategies suggests that Yanmar may be in the early stages of formalising its climate commitments. As of now, Yanmar's climate strategy appears to be developing, with no cascaded emissions data from parent company Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd. Overall, the company is positioned to enhance its climate commitments and transparency in future reporting.
