AGC, headquartered in Japan and operating in the Glass and glass products industry, has reported its greenhouse gas emissions and made significant climate commitments.

In 2024, AGC's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 5.78 billion kg CO2e, and its Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 4.13 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 6.86 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 3.74 billion kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e), and end-of-life treatment of sold products (approximately 1.17 billion kg CO2e). For 2025, AGC anticipates its Scope 1 and 2 emissions to be around 9.6 billion kg CO2e.

AGC has established Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated targets. The company commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by fiscal year 2030, against a fiscal year 2019 base year. Concurrently, AGC aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, processing of sold products, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 30% within the same timeframe. Additionally, AGC pledges that 30% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services and fuel and energy related activities, will have science-based targets by fiscal year 2027.

Looking further ahead, AGC is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2050.
