The 2025 disclosure of Nissan Chemical includes a breakdown across 13 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 12 in 2024, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2025, Nissan Chemical reported total Scope 3 emissions of 746,641 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 82.8% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 17.2% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Nissan Chemical's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that Nissan Chemical's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
Compared to the previous year (2024), Nissan Chemical's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 20.51%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Nissan Chemical reported emissions for 13 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Nissan Chemical's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Nissan Chemical reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 233,161 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 1,676 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 139.1 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Nissan Chemical reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 139.1 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 363.96, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Nissan Chemical ranked 8 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Nissan Chemical is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Nissan Chemical reported a total carbon footprint of 1,077,702 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 11.46% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Nissan Chemical's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 69.28% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 21.64%.a
