This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Brother Industries's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Brother Industries reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 17,850 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,434 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 3.28 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Brother Industries reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 3.28 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 14.39, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Brother Industries ranked 7 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Brother Industries is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Brother Industries reported a total carbon footprint of 2,734,618 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.07% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Brother Industries's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 96.32% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 3.03%.a
