「In addition, solar panels installed at the Yao Plant and Takaida Plant are used for self-consumption during operations, while CO2-free electricity is supplied externally during non-operating periods, such as holidays. Total 1,506 1,346 1,336 1,320 599 255 226 Compared with FY2019 (%) 100.0 89.4 88.7 87.7 39.8 17.0 15.0」
Self-consumption and external supply from solar panels at the Yao Plant and Takaida Plant commenced, reducing SCOPE 1 and 2 emissions to 226 t-CO2 in FY2025, or 15.0% of the FY2019 level. - FY2024MitigatedAnnual report
「During the fiscal year, CO2 emissions fell substantially as a result of switching to CO2-free electricity at each manufacturing plant and certain other sites, as well as partially switching from fossil fuel use to electricity use. SCOPE 1 and 2 Total: FY2019 1,506; FY2023 599; 39.8% of FY2019」
Through measures including the switch to CO2-free electricity, total SCOPE 1 and 2 emissions declined from 1,506 t-CO2 in FY2019 to 599 t-CO2 in FY2023, equivalent to 39.8% of the FY2019 level. The results of measures to address the risk of declining competitiveness due to delays in responding to climate change are shown numerically. - FY2023WorsenedAnnual report
「Accordingly, delays in responding to carbon neutrality, particularly delays in addressing greenhouse gases and falling behind in environmental adaptability, may lead to a decline in our competitiveness.」
The risk associated with greenhouse gas regulations is presented in specific terms not only as the burden of responding to tighter regulations, but also as the risk of declining competitiveness resulting from delays in responding to carbon neutrality. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「We recognise that addressing greenhouse gases is also an important issue specific to the air-conditioning business. We are working to use refrigerants with a low global warming potential, reduce greenhouse gas usage through equipment packaging and system integration technologies, and prevent leakage. However, if regulations on the use and emissions of greenhouse gases are further strengthened, additional product development may become necessary and sales may be affected.」
The risk of additional product development and an impact on sales if regulations on greenhouse gas use and emissions are strengthened is newly presented as a standalone item.
