「Greenhouse gas emissions reduction (Scope 1/2) <Baseline> Fiscal 2013: 2.47 million tonnes of CO₂; △51% (1.20 million tonnes of CO₂) *This figure is an estimate; △60% (980 thousand tonnes of CO₂)」

「Greenhouse gas emissions: 1.75 million tonnes of CO₂ (expected to be at the prior-year level); 60% reduction from fiscal 2013 levels (1 million tonnes of CO₂). Maximum renewable energy generation capacity: 147MW; 150MW. Lost-time injury frequency rate: 0.73; 0.2 or less.」

「Greenhouse gas emissions: 31% reduction from fiscal 2013 levels (1.7 million tonnes of CO₂), expected; 60% reduction from fiscal 2013 levels (1 million tonnes of CO₂)」

「We aim to be a company where each employee can demonstrate empathy and feel a sense of self-fulfilment and growth. At the same time, by further strengthening our management foundation through measures such as enhancing corporate governance from the perspective of ESG management, we will increase both human capital value and management value.」

「For “business value creation,” the Denka Group's policies are to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, enrich sustainable cities and lifestyles, and conserve the environment and minimise environmental impact. We will advance measures including portfolio transformation to establish a low-carbon acetylene chain that reduces greenhouse gases such as CO₂, expansion of renewable energy, development of products that contribute to the SDGs, and promotion of a circular economy for styrene-based packaging materials to realise a circular society.」

「Non-financial CO₂ emissions 1 million tonnes (60% reduction from fiscal 2013) Maximum renewable energy generation capacity 150MW Lost-time injury frequency rate (number of injuries and fatalities ÷ total hours worked × 1 million) 0.2 or less Share of management positions held by women, foreign nationals and experienced hires 50%」

「With reducing our environmental impact at the core of management, we have set targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2013 levels by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, and will accelerate our decarbonisation initiatives.」

「With the recognition that management focused on the ESG perspectives of “safety first,” “environmental responsibility,” “quality assurance,” “talent development and utilisation,” “social contribution” and “corporate governance” forms our foundation, we will work diligently toward becoming a specialty company. We believe that these initiatives will lead to the realisation of the corporate philosophy “The Denka Value” and, ultimately, to the achievement of the goals set out in the UN SDGs.」
