Yazaki

Yazaki, a Japanese supplier of motor vehicle parts, has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, encompassing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Yazaki is committed to achieving carbon neutrality across all scopes, including Scope 3, by 2039.

For its own operations (Scope 1 and 2), Yazaki has set a target to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 63.0% by fiscal year 2035, using a fiscal year 2021 baseline. Additionally, Yazaki aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services and the use of sold products by 37.5% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

In terms of recent reported emissions, for fiscal year 2024, Yazaki reported approximately 63 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and about 430 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. For fiscal year 2023, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 65 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were about 452 million kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2022, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 67 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions at about 460 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions data was not reported for these years.

Yazaki has previously set targets such as reducing CO2 emissions by 3.5% in absolute value for Scope 1 and Scope 2 between 2006 and 2007, and a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions per unit globally from the 2010 level by 2020. They also committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 compared to a 2017 baseline.
