Compared to 2019, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Sanrio decreased by 17.26%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2023, the total Scope 1 emissions of Sanrio were 1,597.7 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2019), Sanrio's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 42.21%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 9,056.6 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Compared to the previous year (2019), Sanrio's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) fell by 10.43% in 2023, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its energy consumption.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported 106,713.8 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 2023 disclosure of Sanrio includes a breakdown across 8 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2019, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported total Scope 3 emissions of 106,713.8 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
Compared to the previous year (2019), Sanrio's Scope 3 emissions increased by 12.3%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported emissions for 8 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2023, the largest contributors to Sanrio's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2023, Sanrio reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,597.7 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 545 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 2.93 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 2.93 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 2.19, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2023, Sanrio ranked 16 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Sanrio is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2023, Sanrio reported a total carbon footprint of 117,368.1 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 8.78% increase compared to 2019, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Sanrio's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 90.92% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 7.72%.a
