In 2023, Dentsu Group reported a total waste generation of 2,170,007 metric tonnes, of which 42% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that Dentsu Group is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Since 2019, Dentsu Group's total waste generation decreased by 66.39%, including a further 13.16% drop in 2023, highlighting a consistent and deliberate reduction in waste production over time.
Over the same period, Dentsu Group's waste recovery rate declined by 26.82%, with a further 24.78% drop in 2023, underscoring a weakening in waste diversion performance and a potential drift away from circular waste strategies.
Overall, while Dentsu Group has successfully reduced its total waste generation, its waste recovery efforts have also declined. This pattern could suggest a shift in strategy away from circular treatment methods or a lag in recovery infrastructure development.
