Subaru reports comprehensive emissions data across Scope 1, 2, and 3, but total emissions rose 28% year-on-year while BEV penetration stalled at 1.9% globally against a 2030 target of 50%. The company faces a credibility gap: self-set targets lack SBTi validation, supply chain emissions are rising unchecked, and past test-data falsification raises systemic integrity questions.
