「*FY2030 target: 58.8% reduction from FY2016 (15,730t-CO2). This target was set with reference to the SBT (1.5°C-aligned) approach, assuming an annual reduction of 4.2%. To achieve the target, the Company will first improve activity levels through thorough energy conservation in manufacturing processes, including operating optimization and improvements in equipment efficiency, while positioning the use of renewable energy, including consideration of procurement methods, as an important option and promoting it in stages while balancing return on investment and business continuity.」
The Company set its FY2030 GHG reduction target at a 58.8% reduction from FY2016, or 15,730t-CO2, and stated that it plans to pursue improvements in energy-saving equipment efficiency and the use of renewable energy based on an assumed annual reduction of 4.2%. It has also begun calculating Scope 3 emissions. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「From FY2024, the Company began calculating its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from activities within its own operations. Going forward, to improve the accuracy of its analysis of climate-related risks and opportunities, it will calculate not only Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions but also Scope 3 emissions across the entire supply chain, and will set specific years and targets in line with the greenhouse gas reduction targets established by the Japanese government.」
The Company began calculating Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from FY2024 and stated that it plans to calculate Scope 3 emissions and set specific years and reduction targets going forward. Combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were 24,904t-CO2 in FY2024, up from 24,148t-CO2 in FY2023. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「To formulate greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2030, the Company will first undertake calculations and establish a company-wide system to determine the total amount and trends of its CO2 emissions, set targets for various measures to reduce emissions, and work toward implementation.」
Toward setting reduction targets for 2030, the Company moved to the stage of developing CO2 emissions measurement, establishing a company-wide system and setting measure-specific targets. - FY2023First statedAnnual report
「To formulate greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2030, the Company will first establish calculation formulas to determine the total amount and trends of its CO2 emissions, set targets for various measures to reduce emissions, and work toward implementation.」
Before formulating greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030, the Company newly specified the establishment of CO2 emissions calculation formulas, the setting of measure-specific targets and implementation of reductions.
