Mitsui Chemicals's reported carbon emissions

Mitsui Chemicals, a JP-based company in the chemicals sector, is committed to significant emissions reductions. The company has declared its intention to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. For near-term goals, Mitsui Chemicals aims to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% by fiscal year 2030, compared to fiscal year 2013 levels. This target encompasses all scopes and is being pursued through strategies such as transitioning to low-carbon raw materials and fuels, enhancing energy efficiency with improved equipment, and adopting renewable energy sources. Specifically, the company plans to concentrate its efforts on production sites with higher emissions volumes for Scope 1 and Scope 2 reductions. Additionally, there is a stated target to reduce domestic GHG emissions by 25.4% by fiscal year 2030, relative to fiscal year 2005 levels, which applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
