Tokyo Gas has not set specific reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) nor has it made any formal climate pledges. The company continues to focus on transparency in its emissions reporting, as evidenced by its disclosures to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Overall, while Tokyo Gas has made strides in emissions reporting, it currently lacks defined reduction initiatives or targets, positioning it within an industry context that increasingly prioritises climate action and accountability.
