Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Ajinomoto sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.
The company has set targets to reduce its absolute emissions and emissions intensity. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI has assumed that the used agricultural inputs used by the company grow according to the global agricultural input production forecasts from several Integrated Assessment Models under a Business-as-Usual scenario. Also, the company does not explicitly disclose whether agriculture-driven GHGs emissions attributable to the effect of Land Use and Land Use Change are included in its reported Scope 3 - Category 1 emissions. TPI assumes that these are included. When interpreting TPI Carbon Performance data, it is important to bear in mind that climate science shows temperature change is proportional to cumulative absolute CO2 emissions.
