In 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Yaskawa Electric amounted to 41,733 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2023, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Yaskawa Electric decreased by 5.91%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.a
In 2024, the total Scope 1 emissions of Yaskawa Electric were 7,646 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2019, Yaskawa Electric's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 20.41%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Yaskawa Electric's Scope 1 emissions increased by 8.9%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 34,087 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2019, Yaskawa Electric's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 21.33%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ab
Compared to the previous year (2023), Yaskawa Electric's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Yaskawa Electric's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported 37,780,948 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 Yaskawa Electric includes a breakdown across 10 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2023, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported total Scope 3 emissions of 37,780,948 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 6.24% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 93.76% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Yaskawa Electric's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 19.49%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported emissions for 10 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 Yaskawa Electric's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,646 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 3,821 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 2 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 2 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 6.07, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric ranked 7 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Yaskawa Electric is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Yaskawa Electric reported a total carbon footprint of 37,822,681 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 19.48% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.a
The largest contributor to Yaskawa Electric's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.89% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.09%.a
