Yokohama Rubber Cuts Carbon Footprint by 2035

Yokohama Rubber Co. has outlined a clear strategy to slash its greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) officially approving these goals.

Key Commitments

• Scope 1 & Scope 2
  Direct factory emissions and indirect electricity‑related emissions will be cut by more than two-thirds compared with 2024 levels.

• Scope 3
  All other indirect emissions—from products sold to customers and supply‑chain energy use—will decline by 37.5%.

Yokohama has reported Scope 3 data since 2013, providing a transparent view of its environmental impact.

Action Plan

• Solar Investment
  The company is installing solar panels at its global plants.

• Renewable Electricity Shift
  Operations will transition to renewable power sources, reducing daily carbon releases.

Why It Matters

• SBTi Validation
  Alignment with the Paris Agreement science underscores Yokohama’s seriousness about climate change and sets a benchmark for peers.

• Industry Leadership
  The pledge enhances Yokohama’s reputation as a responsible leader while driving substantial reductions in its overall carbon footprint.

By 2035, Yokohama Rubber expects these combined efforts to deliver a significant, measurable impact on the planet’s health and its own sustainability profile.
