Insights into Kao's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2024, Kao has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2), but not its value chain emissions (Scope 3). This means its reduction efforts currently focus on direct and purchased energy emissions.
Does Kao have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2024, Kao has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Kao's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 1,057,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2017.
As of 2023, Kao is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 63.64% of the planned reduction.
Kao's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Kao have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2024, Kao has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Kao's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 11,909,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2017, by 22% by 2030.
As of 2023, Kao is ahead of schedule on its total carbon footprint reduction target, having achieved 68.18% of the planned reduction.
