「For the fiscal year ending March 2031, we changed the KGI from the total water intake reduction rate (versus BAU) to the industrial water intake reduction rate, and from the total waste reduction rate (versus BAU) to the industrial waste reduction rate (incineration and landfill disposal). We also newly established the use rate of recycled and biomass materials as a KPI and set a target value.」
The resource circulation targets were reorganized from total-volume indicators versus BAU to reduction rates for industrial water intake and waste sent for incineration or landfill, and the use rate of recycled and biomass materials was added as a new KPI. - FY2025SoftenedAnnual report

Resource circulation has been established as an independent environmental target, with goals of 100% use of sustainable materials and zero industrial water intake and industrial waste by 2050, supported by the use of recycled resources, stable procurement of critical minerals, and a circular value chain.
