Takeda

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 (EACs). Virtual Power Purchase agreements have been secured in the U.S. and India. On-site photovoltaic panels at the Singapore manufacturing support building generate energy-positive output. Vienna site has operated on 100% renewable energy since 2007.

In line with SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard guidelines, Takeda will continue to invest in nature-based carbon removal projects, prioritizing solutions that benefit human health. Removals will address residual emissions (<10%) with high-quality, permanent carbon removals after >90% absolute reductions.

• Sales fleet electrification

  40% of global fleet is electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid. Target to eliminate 100% of internal combustion engine vehicles.

• Sustainable packaging & circular materials

  53% of secondary paper packaging (by weight) is from recycled content or sustainable forest certified, up from 42%. Moving from special colors (Pantone) to CMYK ink in printing for secondary packaging. Plans include PVC-free blister packs, pharma-grade bioplastics, and maximizing recycled content in secondary packaging (paper, plastic trays). New ENTYVIO SC multi-pack packaging estimated to reduce carton use by ~70% and leaflets by ~50% annually.

• Manufacturing site decarbonization & heat pumps

  48 site-specific net-zero roadmaps covering manufacturing sites, BioLife and offices. Approved industry-first higher-temperature heat pump for steam generation (AHEAD project) in collaboration with AIT and Sustainable Process Heat GmbH — first time natural gas-free steam-generating heat pumps using 100% natural refrigerants will be integrated into industrial operation. Recognized with Net-Zero Industries Award National Winner Austria at COP28.

• Supplier engagement toward science-based targets

  56% of suppliers (by emissions) have set or committed to set science-based targets, up from 45% in FY2022. Target of 67% by FY2024 and pursuing 60% reduction in suppliers' operational emissions. Goal: 25% reduction in Scope 3 by FY2030 vs FY2022 baseline.

• Hard-to-abate value chain investments (single-use plastics, medical waste)

  Focusing on collaborations to tackle hard-to-abate value chain emissions, including single-use plastics in plasma donation and disposal of regulated medical waste. Plans to enhance circularity in manufacturing (widespread solvent recycling).

• Distribution & logistics — sea over air freight

  50% of shipped volume (by weight) transported by sea instead of air freight, reducing logistics-related emissions. Digital ePI program (PharmaLedger) for QDENGA reduces packaging materials and lowers shipping volume/weight.
