Responding to Climate Change

Toward the realization of decarbonization, we are developing products that contribute to solving environmental problems and promoting environmentally friendly business activities. In addition, we have set reduction targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction.

GHG Emissions(Scope1,2,3)

1. Of the 15 categories in Scope 3, categories 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 15 have been excluded from calculation.

2. The figures in parentheses above are percentages of the total of Scope 1 through 3, with 5.62 million t-CO2 as the denominator.

To reduce GHG emissions in our business activities, we are actively utilizing renewable energy and conserving energy where possible. In addition, to raise environmental awareness among employees, we conduct educational activities, including distributing energy-saving promotional materials to employees and making regular inspections to check energy-saving responses undertaken at offices and plants.
In FYE2023, GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2) decreased by 16.9% from the previous fiscal year to 65,533 t-CO2.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions(Scope1,2)

Utilization of renewable energy

We are working to reduce GHG emissions through such measures as installing photovoltaic panels. Overseas, photovoltaic panels have been installed at several locations. In Japan, photovoltaic panels were newly installed at Okinawa Branch Office during FYE2023.
We plan to continue installing photovoltaic panels at our facilities in Japan and overseas and to switch to renewable energy sources for electricity used at our offices and other facilities. In addition to photovoltaic panels, some sites in Germany and other countries have installed geothermal heating and cooling systems and are working to reduce GHG emissions through the use of renewable energy.
