This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Otsuka's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Otsuka reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 5,349 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 7,056 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 0.76 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Otsuka reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 0.76 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 0.25, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Otsuka ranked 17 out of 21 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Otsuka among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Otsuka reported a total carbon footprint of 3,273,602 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 30.31% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Otsuka's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.55% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.29%.a
