Does Rakuten Group have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2024, Rakuten Group has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Rakuten Group's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 30% by 2032, compared to a baseline of 9,201,773 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2022.
Instead of reducing value chain emissions, Rakuten Group has increased them, with 2023 levels exceeding those of the 2022 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
