Carbon Performance Nippon Paper Industries

Carbon Performance alignment of companies in the Nippon Paper Industries sector with the Paris agreement benchmarks.

Assessment Date:
TPI notes:

The company has set targets to reduce its absolute emissions. To calculate this company’s targeted emissions intensity, TPI has assumed that the company’ s pulp, paper and paperboard production grows according to the global growth rate projected in the IEA’ s Energy Technology Perspectives model ‘Reference Technology’ scenario. TPI also assumes that the emissions intensity of the pulp and paper business in Japan is representative of the company’s carbon performance, since Japanese production accounts for over 82% of the company’s global paper production. 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.
