Compared to the previous year (2023), Renesas Electronics's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Renesas Electronics's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported 1,472,548 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Renesas Electronics includes a breakdown across 11 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 6 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,472,548 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 100% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 0% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2022, Renesas Electronics's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 29.65%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Renesas Electronics's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 13.09%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.ab
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported emissions for 11 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 2024, the largest contributors to Renesas Electronics's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 125,385 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 8,589 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 14.6 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 14.6 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 11.31, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Renesas Electronics ranked 15 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Renesas Electronics is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Renesas Electronics reported a total carbon footprint of 2,240,483 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.32% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Renesas Electronics's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 65.72% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 28.68%.a
