This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 15,000 kg CO2e, primarily from stationary combustion, and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 34.7 million kg CO2e, attributed to purchased electricity. The company’s Scope 3 emissions were significant, amounting to around 49.7 million kg CO2e, with the largest contributions from purchased goods and services (about 62.7 million kg CO2e) and capital goods (approximately 14.6 million kg CO2e). Piolax has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that these figures are solely from Piolax, Inc. Overall, while Piolax has made strides in emissions reporting, the lack of defined reduction strategies highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments moving forward.
