In 2024, AGC reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, AGC reported 10,008,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of AGC includes a breakdown across 12 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, AGC reported total Scope 3 emissions of 10,008,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 66.03% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 33.97% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, AGC's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 30.14%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), AGC's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that AGC's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2024, AGC reported emissions for 12 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to AGC's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, AGC reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,781,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 13,170 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 438.96 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, AGC reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 438.96 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 20.89, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, AGC ranked 26 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places AGC among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, AGC reported a total carbon footprint of 20,184,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.46% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to AGC's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 49.58% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 28.64%.a
