メルカリ reported 49% of the adjusted total. Mycelium estimated the remaining 51% for the categories it did not disclose. メルカリ reported 43,164 tCO₂e of Scope 3 emissions beyond its breakdown into categories. The model of the categories it did not report comes to more than that, so the adjusted total counts the model, with the reported figure inside it.

Snapshot

Based on reported data, retrieved with AI

  • メルカリ reported 288,112 tCO₂e in 2024.
  • Scope 3 accounted for 100% of reported emissions.
  • Reported across 1 of 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 categories.

According to available emissions disclosures, メルカリ reported total yearly emissions of 288,112 tCO₂e in 2024. Scope 3 emissions accounted for 100% of the reported footprint, indicating supply chain activity, purchased goods and services, business travel, and wider operational dependencies were the most significant contributors to the company's carbon footprint.

The company achieved a Mycelium Score of 2.4, placing it below average for its sector for sustainability performance, and received a transparency score of 50.5, pointing to fairly limited disclosure, with notable gaps in key areas.

Scope 3 emissions

Wider value chain emissions across the 15 GHG Protocol categories, from purchased goods and business travel to investments, where reported.

メルカリ reported 43,164 tCO₂e of Scope 3 emissions beyond its breakdown into categories. Mycelium's model of the categories it did not report comes to more than that, so the estimates below replace it in the adjusted total, with the reported figure counted inside them. The reported figure is not discarded, and you can see it in the downloads below.

14 values were derived via Mycelium's normalisation process rather than reported by the company. Part of the company's own Scope 3 was filed without a category, so it has no cell of its own. A cell marked “ESTIMATED” is a figure the company did not disclose, modelled by Mycelium.

How scoring works

How the Mycelium Score is calculated

The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs peers in the same NACE section (emissions normalised against revenue, log-scaled between the 5th and 95th percentile of each company's latest reporting year in that section; a section needs at least 5 companies to be benchmarked). The band above 6.5 is earned through verified data quality on a claimed profile: declaring every reporting category yourself (up to 2.0), preparation by a carbon accountant (2.0) and independently audited figures (2.0). The total is multiplied by the transparency score and capped at 10. A disclosure with an implausibly large figure (Scope 1 or 2 over 300 million tonnes, a Scope 3 figure over 2 billion tonnes or a total over 2.5 billion tonnes) is not scored until it has been checked.

A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. メルカリ's score sits at the top of this page and in the score panel. Without a revenue figure to measure carbon intensity, or an industry classification to compare it within, a company has no score.

How the Transparency Score is calculated

The Transparency Score is the share of a company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Where a category is missing, Mycelium models what it would hold for a company of that size and industry and counts it as undisclosed, so an unreported category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one. Unreported downstream categories (9 to 15) count at a quarter of their modelled size in this share; the carbon intensity behind the score still counts them in full. A Scope 3 total filed without a category breakdown earns very little credit for the part left unattributed, because it does not show which categories are inside it: a company can count business travel, leave purchased goods out entirely, and the total looks the same. Without a revenue figure the footprint cannot be modelled, so the company has no Transparency Score.

For メルカリ, the single biggest gap is Purchased goods & services (Scope 3 Category 1). Mycelium estimates it accounts for around 32% of the company's estimated footprint, yet it hasn't been disclosed. Leaving a bucket this large unreported is what's holding the transparency score down.

Other material categories メルカリ hasn't disclosed:

  • Processing of sold products (Scope 3 Category 10), around 10% of the estimated footprint
  • Use of sold products (Scope 3 Category 11), around 8% of the estimated footprint
  • Upstream transportation & distribution (Scope 3 Category 4), around 4% of the estimated footprint

In total, roughly 58% of メルカリ's estimated emissions sit in categories it hasn't reported. Disclosing these would be the fastest way to raise the transparency score.

メルカリ carbon emissions FAQs

What are メルカリ's carbon emissions?

In its 2024 reporting year, メルカリ disclosed total emissions of 288,112 tCO2e across all scopes. Including Mycelium estimates for undisclosed categories, the adjusted total is 585,789 tCO2e. Scope 3 accounted for the largest share of the reported total, around 100%.

Does メルカリ report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?

For 2024, メルカリ's available disclosure covers Scope 1 (353 tCO2e) and Scope 3 across 1 of the 15 GHG Protocol categories. Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.

How transparent is メルカリ's emissions reporting?

メルカリ has a Mycelium transparency score of 50.5 out of 100. The score is the share of the company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, so an undisclosed category where most of its emissions sit weighs far more than a minor one.

Is メルカリ sustainable?

Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. メルカリ has a Mycelium Score of 2.4 out of 10, which reflects its emissions intensity against sector peers together with how transparent and well-verified its reporting is. The emissions figures, disclosure documents and climate targets on this page give the fuller picture.

Is メルカリ environmentally friendly?

Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. メルカリ disclosed 288,112 tCO2e for 2024, and its Mycelium Score of 2.4 out of 10 shows how that performance compares with similar companies in its sector.
