In 2020, Morinaga Nutritional Foods, Inc. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,500,000 kg CO2e, comprising 186,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 134,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and a significant 2,319,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data is cascaded from its parent company, Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd., reflecting the broader environmental impact of its operations. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Morinaga Nutritional Foods has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at mitigating its carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a current subsidiary of Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd., Morinaga Nutritional Foods is positioned within an industry that is increasingly prioritising sustainability and carbon reduction. However, without explicit targets or commitments, the company's future climate actions remain unclear.
