Looking at previous years, in fiscal year 2023, total global emissions were approximately 4.52 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 85 million kg CO2e of Scope 1 emissions and approximately 24 million kg CO2e of Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2023 were around 4.41 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services contributing approximately 3.89 billion kg CO2e. For fiscal year 2022, total global emissions were approximately 3.27 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 86 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 24 million kg CO2e (market-based).

Daiichi Sankyo's climate targets include a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 63% by fiscal year 2030, from a fiscal year 2015 base year. Furthermore, the company aims to increase its sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by fiscal year 2030. They have also committed to ensuring that 70.6% of their suppliers, by emissions, will have science-based targets by fiscal year 2025. The company has also set a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2023 base year, and to measure and reduce its Scope 3 emissions. Long-term goals include reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2040, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2050, from a fiscal year 2020 base year. Daiichi Sankyo is also committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2050.
