Greenhouse Gas Reduction Roadmap

Mid- to Long-Term Reduction Targets

In accordance with the NDC1) target for 2050, LX Pantos has established its 2050 Net-Zero target, reflecting its estimated emissions and mitigation measures. On our journey towards net-zero, the first step will be to achieve a 25% reduction compared to the levels of BAU2) by 2030, thereby fulfilling our social responsibilities for carbon neutrality.

1) NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) : It refers to the national greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets established by each country participating in the Paris Climate Agreement, which form the basis for efforts to mitigate carbon emissions by 2030. 2) BAU : It stands for ‘Business As Usual’, and refers to the GHGs that would be emitted in the absence of any mitigation efforts.

In 2020, LX Pantos was designated as a company subject to the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme. The company calculates, trades and manages its emissions in accordance with the guidelines for reporting and certifying greenhouse gas emissions (Ministry of Environment Notification No. 2023-221) and the 2006 IPCC guidelines. Additionally, LX Pantos systematically manages energy consumption across all domestic business sites, including logistics centers, and performs various activities to reduce energy consumption.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

LX Pantos’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 totaled 32,538 tCO2-eq, of which direct emissions (Scope 1) from freight vehicles and commercial vehicles amounted to 22,471 tCO2-eq, accounting for 69% of total emissions. Indirect emissions (Scope 2) from the use of purchased electricity and city gas at business sites amounted to 10,067 tCO2-eq, accounting for 31%. Furthermore, starting in 2023, to comprehensively manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated during business activities, LX Pantos identified Scope 3 categories based on business relevance and importance and calculated the emissions.
