- FY2026ReframedAnnual report
「On 28 May 2026, the Group announced new interim targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Scopes 1 and 2. New interim targets: 1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production by 30% by 2035, using 2025 as the base year. 2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2040.」
In addition to the previous target of reducing emissions per unit of production to 45% for FY2025, the company announced new interim targets of a 30% reduction in emissions per unit of production by 2035 and a 35% reduction in total emissions by 2040, both based on 2025. FY2025 results were Scope 1 emissions of 2,318 thousand CO2-t, Scope 2 emissions of 4,501 thousand CO2-t and an emissions-intensity index of 54.7%. - 2026-05-28AdvancedGeneral Meetings of Shareholders
「In addition, we set new interim targets in May 2026.」
The company states that it set new interim targets in May 2026 under its 2050 carbon neutrality plan. - FY2025Updated greenhouse gas emissions and emissions-intensity indexAnnual report
「Scope 1 emissions 2,326 / Scope 2 emissions 4,443 / Production emissions-intensity index versus FY1990 56.9」
The company continued to target effectively zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and an emissions-intensity ratio of 45% for FY2025, and disclosed FY2024 results of Scope 1 emissions of 2,326 thousand CO2-t, Scope 2 emissions of 4,443 thousand CO2-t and an emissions-intensity index of 56.9%. - FY2024Updated greenhouse gas emissions and emissions-intensity indexAnnual report
「The Group aims to achieve effectively zero greenhouse gas emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 2050.……Reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production to 45% of the FY1990 level by FY2025……Scope 1 emissions 2,242 / Scope 2 emissions 4,266 / Production emissions-intensity index versus FY1990 57.0」
The company continued to target effectively zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and an emissions-intensity ratio of 45% for FY2025, and disclosed FY2023 results of Scope 1 emissions of 2,242 thousand CO2-t, Scope 2 emissions of 4,266 thousand CO2-t and an emissions-intensity index of 57.0%. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「The Group aims to achieve effectively zero greenhouse gas emissions from Scopes 1 and 2 by 2050. It will also continue promoting reductions in greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production. We will work toward achieving the new medium-term target established in FY2016: reducing greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production to 45% of the FY1990 level by FY2025.」
The company stated its targets of effectively zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and reducing emissions per unit of production to 45% of the FY1990 level by FY2025. It also specified reduction measures including renewable energy, hydrogen, CCUS, efficiency improvements and recycling. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「In addition to reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions, we will focus on providing technologies and materials that contribute to decarbonization.」
Regarding carbon neutrality, the company has incorporated into its basic management policy the reduction of its own emissions and the provision of decarbonization technologies and materials, moving beyond the previous year's policy of expanding existing businesses and introducing reduction technologies. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「In recent years, major countries have set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets and begun working toward achieving so-called carbon neutrality, or climate neutrality. In general, our businesses already consist of products and services that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We will expand these businesses and work to align them with the demands of the times. In addition, we will introduce technologies that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.」
In light of reduction targets set by major countries and the movement toward carbon neutrality, the company explicitly identified expanding existing businesses that help reduce emissions and introducing greenhouse gas reduction technologies as new initiatives.
