Zeon's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Zeon Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.36 billion kg CO2e, comprising 788.3 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, 166.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 1.41 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This represents a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 2.19 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 706.9 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 167.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 1.31 billion kg CO2e.

Zeon has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by FY2030 from a FY2020 baseline. Additionally, the company targets a 25% reduction in Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services and fuel and energy-related activities within the same timeframe. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with the reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Furthermore, Zeon is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with a dedicated Carbon Neutral Endeavor Department established under its Corporate Sustainability Division in April 2022. This long-term goal reflects the company's proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing its overall carbon footprint.
