Daiichi Sankyo

Daiichi Sankyo, headquartered in Japan and operating in the Medical, precision, and optical instruments, watches and clocks sector, reported approximately 4.28 billion kg CO2e in total greenhouse gas emissions for 2024. This includes around 91.8 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 24.5 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 4.16 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Their Scope 3 emissions were primarily driven by purchased goods and services, accounting for about 3.55 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, Daiichi Sankyo's total emissions for 2023 were approximately 4.52 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 85.2 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at around 24.0 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 4.41 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were significantly lower at approximately 2.32 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 86.0 million kg CO2e for Scope 1, 23.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 2.21 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Daiichi Sankyo has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They aim for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by FY2050. Their near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63% by FY2030 from a FY2015 base year. They also commit to increasing active sourcing of renewable electricity from 4.73% in FY2015 to 100% by FY2030. Furthermore, Daiichi Sankyo aims for 70.6% of its suppliers, by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, to have science-based targets by FY2030. For their long-term targets, they are committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2040 from a FY2015 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by FY2050 from a FY2020 base year.
