Scope 1 and 2 Reduction and Carbon Neutrality Targets

「CO2 emissions from domestic Group companies in the fiscal year ending February 2026 were 8,977t-CO2/year for Scope 1 and 14,079t-CO2/year for Scope 2, for a total of 23,056t-CO2/year. Although emissions increased because emissions from a domestic Group company that became a consolidated subsidiary during the previous consolidated fiscal year were included for the full year, total emissions declined slightly year on year owing to improved production efficiency and other measures at existing domestic Group companies.」

「As a long-term target for reducing CO2 emissions, the Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality by the fiscal year ending February 2051. In particular, for the period through the fiscal year ending February 2031, it will work across the Group to reduce direct emissions from its operations (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from electricity consumption (Scope 2) by at least 25% from the fiscal year ending February 2025. To reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, the Group will seek to improve production efficiency and reduce total energy use, while also considering initiatives such as replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy and generating renewable electricity in-house.」
