Peer cohort: — · lower is betterRevenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
—tCO2e / $m revenue
Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.
—
Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
—tCO2e / $m OpEx
OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.
—
Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
—tCO2e / $m EVIC
EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?
—
Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
—tCO2e / $m PP&E
PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Strategy & approach
How the firm describes its decarbonisation approach in its own words — alongside the headline numbers above. Self-reported, page-cited.
Approach to renewable energy
100% renewable electricity across operations via on-site solar, PPAs and VPPAs
Takeda aims to achieve 100% renewable electricity across operations, prioritizing on-site renewables and power purchase agreements/voluntary power purchase agreements over unbundled energy attribute certificates. Virtual Power Purchase agreements secured in the U.S. and India. On-site photovoltaic panels at Singapore manufacturing site produce more energy than the building uses, with excess directed to adjacent manufacturing facility (Green Mark Platinum Positive Energy certified). Vienna site has operated on 100% renewable energy since 2007.

Approach to carbon removals
Nature-based carbon removals for residual <10% of emissions, SBTi-aligned
In line with SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard, Takeda will address residual emissions (<10%) with high-quality, permanent carbon removals by FY2040. Continues to invest in nature-based carbon removal projects, prioritizing solutions that benefit human health. Transitioned away from carbon neutrality framing to focus first on absolute decarbonisation before relying on removals.

Primary decarbonisation levers
- Manufacturing site decarbonisation - heat pumps and electrification
48 site-specific net-zero roadmaps for manufacturing sites, BioLife and offices. Approved industry-first higher-temp heat pump for steam (AHEAD project) - a public-private partnership with AIT and Sustainable Process Heat GmbH to replace carbon-intensive natural gas with steam-generating heat pumps using 100% natural refrigerants. 650+ identified emissions or energy reduction projects (50% for energy efficiency).
- Sales fleet electrification
40% of global fleet is electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid as of FY2023. Target to eliminate 100% of internal combustion engine vehicles by FY2035.
- BioLife plasma donation center decarbonisation
First BioLife center designed to operate with zero GHG emissions opened in Linz, Austria in FY2023. Maintain commitment to building 'all-electric' new BioLife centers. 60% average reduction in emissions per U.S. BioLife center FY2016-FY2023; 87% of U.S. BioLife centers use AI-powered HVAC; 35% reduction in water consumption per U.S. center CY2019-CY2023.
Dependent decarbonisation levers
- Supplier engagement toward science-based targets
56% of suppliers (by emissions) have set or committed to set science-based targets in FY2023 (up from 45% in FY2022). Target: 67% of emissions from suppliers with SBT commitments by FY2024. Pursue 60% reduction in suppliers' operational emissions by FY2030.
- Distribution and logistics - sea over air freight
50% of shipped volume (by weight) transported by sea instead of air freight in FY2023, materially lowering distribution-related Scope 3 emissions.
- Sustainability by Design - product and packaging redesign
Sustainability by Design (SbD) Program established with 10 life-cycle assessments completed for high-impact products. 53% of secondary paper packaging (by weight) from recycled content or sustainable forest certified. Plans include PVC-free blister packs, pharma-grade bioplastics, and maximising recycled content in secondary packaging. Since 2023, SbD framework applies to all new pipeline products.
