Nintendo reports comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 emissions with a 24% absolute reduction from 2023 to 2024, but lacks science-based targets, third-party GHG verification, and any renewable energy strategy at its Japan headquarters. Supply chain emissions dominate at 2.48M tCO₂e with no supplier engagement programme. Water and biodiversity impacts remain largely unaddressed despite hardware manufacturing's inherent resource intensity.
