「In the fiscal year ended March 2025, greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) were reduced by 70% from the fiscal year ended March 2020, or by 62% excluding the amount offset through carbon credits, and the renewable energy share of electricity consumption reached 89%.」
Regarding efforts to reduce environmental impact, the reduction rate for Scope 1 and 2 emissions from the base year reached 70%, while the renewable energy adoption rate reached 89%. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「In the fiscal year ended March 2024, greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) were reduced by 51% from the fiscal year ended March 2020, and the renewable energy share of electricity consumption reached 78%.」
The company reported that it had reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 51% from the base year and increased the renewable energy share of electricity consumption to 78% as part of its efforts to reduce environmental impact. - FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「CO2 emissions from our business sites (Scope 1 & 2): reduction of -68% to -70% (reduction compared with the fiscal year ending March 2020); net zero by 2030.」
For environmental impact reduction, a target was established of reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 68% to 70% from the fiscal year ending March 2020 by the fiscal year ending March 2027, linked to the net-zero target for 2030. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「In October 2023, SBTi (The Science Based Targets initiative) certified that the short-term and net-zero targets of our Group were aligned with the 1.5°C goal established under the Paris Agreement. In the fiscal year ended March 2023, we reduced greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 45.7% from the fiscal year ended March 2020 and achieved a renewable electricity usage rate of 71.9%.」
Results for Scope 1 and 2 reductions and renewable energy adoption were reported, and SBTi certification of alignment with the 1.5°C pathway was obtained. Progress toward the targets of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 100% renewable energy in the fiscal year ending March 2031 was described. - FY2023RaisedAnnual report
「We believe that contributing broadly to the realization of a decarbonized society requires initiatives covering not only our own carbon dioxide emissions but also those across the supply chain. Accordingly, in May 2023 we established a target of achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions across the entire supply chain (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2040.」
In addition to the existing target of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, the scope was expanded to a target of achieving net-zero Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across the entire supply chain by 2040. - FY2022RaisedAnnual report
「In the same year, we established 2 ambitious targets: achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions from our business sites (Scope 1 and 2*) by 2030, and sourcing 100% of the electricity used at our business sites from renewable energy by 2030.」
The environmental policy explicitly set targets of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and 100% renewable energy for electricity used at business sites. - FY2021RaisedAnnual report
「We are working toward a sustainable society by reducing environmental impact in all aspects of our business activities, expanding products and services that contribute to a decarbonized, circular society, and conducting environmental contribution activities in each region, thereby balancing consideration for the global environment with business growth. We recognize climate change as one of the material environmental issues affecting our business activities. In May 2021, we established a carbon neutrality target to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from Olympus Group sites by 2030.」
The environmental policy was expanded from a general policy of reducing environmental impact to a time-bound target of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions from business sites by 2030. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「We are implementing measures including activities aimed at improving energy efficiency, expanding the introduction of renewable energy and diversifying suppliers.」
