Strengthening filter media and product design to address environmental regulations and environmental technologies

「To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the Group established GHG reduction targets through 2030 for Scope 1, 2 and 3 and obtained SBT validation in April 2025.」

「The Group's Scope 1 (direct emissions from its own operations), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity use and other sources) and Scope 3 (value-chain emissions) totaled 74.1 thousand t-CO2 in fiscal 2023. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 2.93 thousand t-CO2, representing a reduction of 17.1% from fiscal 2022.」

「As part of its efforts toward carbon neutrality, the company is promoting the development of nanofibers using biomass resin and filter media using recycled materials.」

「The Group's Scope 1 (direct emissions from its own operations), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity use and other sources) and Scope 3 (value-chain emissions) totaled 78,087 t-CO2. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 3,532 t-CO2, representing a reduction of approximately 33% from fiscal 2021. Going forward, the Group aims to obtain SBT validation based on a 1.5°C pathway for Scope 1 and Scope 2 and a well-below 2°C pathway for Scope 3.」

「The Group's Scope 1 (direct emissions from its own operations) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from electricity use and other sources) emissions totaled 5,234t-CO2 in fiscal 2021, with third-party assurance obtained.」

「NanoWHELP, a product of the company, reduces CO2 emissions by nearly 30% annually compared with competitors' air filters due to the characteristics of its material, while also significantly reducing utility costs.」

「Through this project, we will contribute to society by giving concrete form to our management philosophy, “仕濾過事” (ろかじにつかふる), creating new value by leveraging our technological capabilities, and helping resolve social issues including decarbonization, TCFD, renewable energy and resource circulation.」

「The Group will further enhance its value chain by strengthening its supply chain, thereby transforming its management structure into a more robust and efficient one and working to improve profitability. At the same time, it will actively contribute to reducing GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions through the wider adoption of high-value-added, sustainable products and technologies.」

「As described above, the Group's initiatives to expand its share among Chinese construction equipment manufacturers and increase adoption of its products by existing major customers, mainly in Japan, the US and Europe, are making steady progress. The construction equipment filter business is expected to achieve stability and further growth, while wider adoption of high-value-added products is expected to reduce industrial waste and contribute to environmental conservation.」

「In developing filter media for filters, we conduct research into filter media structures and materials so that the media deliver optimal performance according to the conditions in which they are used and the debris they capture.」

「To address the growing importance of environmental technologies, we will advance our growth strategy by conducting research into filter media structures, materials and optimal functions.」

「To address the growing importance of environmental technologies, the Group will continue to strengthen and develop research into the functions and issues demanded by the market, development of filter media, the core component of filters, and optimal product design, in order to create the clean circuit environments required of machinery using filters.」
