Updated the latest annual results for greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 1 declined from 2,960 thousand tonnes in the base year to 2,573 thousand tonnes, while Scope 2 on a market-based basis declined from 842 thousand tonnes to 533 thousand tonnes. Disclosed progress toward the targets of a 30% reduction by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「The Group is working toward a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production in its glass manufacturing process by 3% annually year on year by the fiscal year ending March 2027, in line with the SBT target. In the fiscal year ended March 2025, progress was steady, with a 2.5% improvement year on year.」
Against the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 3% annually, the figure improved by 2.5% year on year in the fiscal year ended March 2025. The Group stated that Scope 1 and 2 emissions had declined by approximately 16% from 2018. - FY2024AchievedAnnual report
「In the fiscal year ended March 2024, the figure improved by 4.9% year on year, achieving the target of an 8% reduction by the fiscal year ended March 2024.」
Achieved the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production in the glass manufacturing process by 8% compared with the fiscal year ended March 2018. The new medium-term plan added targets of reducing emissions by 3% year on year and increasing the proportion of electricity from renewable energy to 65% by the fiscal year ending March 2027. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「The Group obtained SBT certification in 2019 for its target of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions by 21% by 2030, but revised this target in 2021 and raised it to a more ambitious level while also setting a Scope 3 target. The revised target, validated by SBT in May 2022, is to reduce Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 compared with 2018. The Group has also committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.」
Raised the 2030 Scope 1 and 2 reduction target from 21% to 30%, added Scope 3, reaffirmed the target of carbon neutrality by 2050, and disclosed SBTi validation. - FY2022RaisedAnnual report
「The Group has now set carbon neutrality by 2050 as a target to which it is committed. To achieve this, it raised its 2030 reduction target for greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing processes (Scopes 1 and 2) from 21% to 30%, while establishing additional, more specific and effective measures. For the first time, emissions from the supply chain (Scope 3) have also been included in the reduction targets, and these targets have been validated by SBTi.」
Expanded the environmental targets to carbon neutrality by 2050, raised the 2030 Scope 1 and 2 reduction target from 21% to 30%, and added Scope 3. Also disclosed SBTi validation and its endorsement of and participation in the TCFD recommendations. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「The Group aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its manufacturing processes by 21% by 2030 compared with 2018, and this target has been validated by the SBT initiative. To achieve this, the Group aims to reduce emissions by at least 2% annually during RP24 through optimisation of glass manufacturing processes, development of energy-saving technologies, and expanded use of renewable energy.」
Translated the environmental policy into validated, measurable targets of a 21% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and an annual reduction of at least 2% during RP24, together with measures including process optimisation, energy-saving technologies, and expanded use of renewable energy. - FY2020ReframedAnnual report
