Yaskawa's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Yaskawa reported total carbon emissions of approximately 53,761,724,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 7,392,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 36,190,000 kg CO2e, and a significant contribution from Scope 3 emissions, which totalled around 53,718,142,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions primarily stem from the use of sold products, accounting for about 51,508,488,000 kg CO2e. In 2021, Yaskawa's total emissions were approximately 58,486,689,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 10,829,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions reaching approximately 41,298,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions for that year were around 58,434,562,000 kg CO2e, again largely driven by the use of sold products. The company has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. However, Yaskawa's emissions data indicates a focus on understanding and managing its carbon footprint across all scopes, particularly in the context of its extensive Scope 3 emissions. As Yaskawa continues to operate in a climate-conscious industry, its commitment to addressing carbon emissions remains crucial for aligning with global sustainability goals.
