(note 1) Scope 1: Direct emissions from business sites through the use of fossil fuels, etc.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions through the use of electricity, steam and heat supplied from outside of business sites
(note 2) CDP: CDP is an organization formed from institutional investors for the purpose of managing a project requiring companies to disclose their strategies for climate change and the specific amount of greenhouse gases they generate.
Total emissions were reduced by a massive 17.9% from fiscal 2017. Furukawa Electric Group has set a new long-term GHG emissions reduction target (by 2030) versus the fiscal 2017 level, and the target has been certified as SBT. We have also set a fiscal 2019 target versus the fiscal 2017 level in accordance with SBT. In response to climate change, we promoted energy saving and fuel conversion at plants. We also installed solar power generation equipment and promoted a shift in purchased power toward renewable power. In fiscal 2019, total CO2 emissions at the Group in Japan and overseas fell a massive 17.9% from fiscal 2017 partly due to falls in the operating rate at plants and in the consumption of sulfur hexafluoride.
In fiscal 2020, we will continue Group-wide efforts to achieve our targets in the final year of the medium-term environment plan. We will execute our plan to address climate change, save energy and introduce solar power in line with our long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets (SBT: Science Based Targets) as we push forward with shifting the power we purchase to renewable energy.
