Shimano's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Shimano reported total emissions of approximately 4,727,000 kg CO2e for its operations in Japan, which fall under Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Globally, the company disclosed a total of about 63,239,000 kg CO2e for the same year, also within Scope 1 and 2. This represents a significant commitment to transparency regarding their carbon footprint. Shimano's emissions have fluctuated over the years. For instance, in 2022, the company recorded approximately 5,676,000 kg CO2e in Japan and about 112,345,000 kg CO2e globally. Notably, the 2023 figures indicate a reduction in emissions compared to 2021, when emissions in Japan were around 20,019,000 kg CO2e and globally about 136,748,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Shimano has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other formal climate pledges. The company is actively involved in sustainability initiatives, as evidenced by its participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), but lacks documented reduction targets at this time. Overall, Shimano's emissions data reflects its ongoing efforts to manage and reduce its carbon footprint, although further commitments and specific reduction targets would enhance its climate strategy.
