In 2024, Dentsu Group completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Dentsu Group has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

Since 2019, Dentsu Group's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 74.45%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Dentsu Group's Scope 1 emissions increased by 2.01%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.ab
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 9,583 tCO₂e using the market-based method and 30,915 tCO₂e using the location-based method.a
Since 2019, Dentsu Group's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Location-Based) have decreased by 30.15%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported 389,149 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 Dentsu Group includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, down from 8 in 2023, indicating a decline in reporting granularity and reduced insight into the company's full value chain emissions.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported total Scope 3 emissions of 389,149 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Dentsu Group's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 28.21%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Dentsu Group's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Dentsu Group's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 3,001 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 8,988 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.33 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.33 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.73, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group ranked 9 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Dentsu Group is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Dentsu Group reported a total carbon footprint of 423,065 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 4.05% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Dentsu Group's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 91.98% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 7.31%.a
