Mitsui Chemicals's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Mitsui Chemicals have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Mitsui Chemicals has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 2 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Mitsui Chemicals's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 10% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 50,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2020.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Mitsui Chemicals has increased them, with 2022 levels exceeding those of the 2020 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
