Aeon has set several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 for all scopes. Aeon is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with a 1.5°C warming trajectory. Furthermore, Aeon commits that 80% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services will set science-based targets by 2021.

The company also aims to reduce total CO2 emissions from its stores by 35% by 2030, compared with a 2010 baseline, for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. Additionally, Aeon plans to power Japanese shopping centres and general merchandise stores with 100% renewable energy by 2030 and targets zero aggregate CO2 emissions from stores by 2040 for Scope 1. More recently, Aeon has set a target of 70% absolute emissions reduction for Scope 1 and 2 by 2035, compared to a 2019 base year. The company also aims to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline.
