Goals Related to Climate Change
RE100 2030 and Net Zero 2040
Our carbon management model has demonstrated how we value the global climate change and carbon-related issues and develop countermeasures. Since 2005, we have been carrying out GHG inventories and third-party verifications, and internally promoting the ISO certifications relevant to environment and energy management systems at the same time.
Since 2019, we have been disclosing our climate-related financial information in compliance with the TCFD framework. Also, we have been proactively participating in international initiatives since 2021; in 2022, we joined the global renewable energy initiative, RE100.
While we devise plans for the mid-term goal RE100 and set annual objectives to make progress year by year, the long-term goal―net zero carbon emissions by 2040―is another challenge. We will actively develop plans for the operation model of carbon credit and carbon trade so as to make early preparation for the carbon-related challenges of the next decade.
Currently, we are not only engaged in RE100 but also proactively taking part in other initiatives regarding climate change, such as attending the Science-based Targets initiative (SBTi) and The Climate Pledge launched by important customers in 2022. In addition, we also join regional initiatives of the places where our important production bases are located at in an active manner, and work with the ecosystem partners to bring about changes with our influence and achieve zero net carbon emissions step by step with major well-known enterprises in the world.
