DENSO, a Japanese manufacturer in the Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers industry, reported total emissions of approximately 35.05 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 502 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 548 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 33.99 billion kg CO2e. For comparison, in 2024, their total emissions were roughly 35.03 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 545 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 915 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at around 33.57 billion kg CO2e.

DENSO has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for carbon neutrality in 2035 for the DENSO Group. Specifically, they intend to achieve carbon neutrality at their plants by fiscal year 2036 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, and to expand this throughout the supply chain. A long-term target for achieving carbon neutrality by fiscal year 2051 for overall Scope 3 emissions has also been set.

The company has near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments:

• To reduce absolute Scope 1 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year.
• To reduce absolute Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year. This target also includes an increase in active annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 0.6% in FY2020 to 100% by FY2025 through FY2030.
• To reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and use of sold products by 25% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year.

DENSO has already achieved a 50% reduction in Scope 1 CO2 emissions compared with fiscal 2021, meeting its fiscal 2024 target. Additionally, DENSO aims for a 50% reduction in CO2 from mobility products by 2025 compared with fiscal 2021.
