Shimadzu's reported carbon emissions

Shimadzu Corporation's climate commitments focus on significant greenhouse gas emission reductions. In 2024, the company reported a total of approximately 2.8 billion kg CO2e across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For Scope 1, emissions were approximately 2.89 million kg CO2e, and for Scope 2, they stood at approximately 6.14 million kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were substantial, reaching approximately 2.76 billion kg CO2e. Shimadzu Corporation has set ambitious targets to address climate change. Their near-term goals include an 85% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by Fiscal Year 2030, using FY2017 as a baseline. Furthermore, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 30% by FY2030, based on a FY2020 baseline. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as aligning with a 1.5°C warming scenario, in line with the Paris Agreement. Looking further ahead, Shimadzu Corporation has a long-term commitment to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by FY2050. They also aim for a 90% reduction in emissions by FY2040 compared to FY2017 levels, further demonstrating their dedication to decarbonisation across all scopes.
