*1 Scope 1: Direct emissions from works resulting from the use of fossil fuels, etc.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions resulting from the use of electricity, steam, and heat supplied from outside of works
*2 Scope 3: Other indirect emissions, such as purchased products and services, business trip, commuting, and transportation
The Group began calculating emissions for downstream Scope 3 (activities related to products and services sold in principle) from FY2020.
*3Base year was updated to FY2021 upon the revision of Environmental Target 2030; the reduction target when applying the previous base year FY2017 is also shown as a reference.

The total greenhouse gas emissions in FY2023 were significantly reduced by 45.4% compared to FY2017. As a measure against climate change, we have actively installed solar power generation systems and switched to electricity derived from renewable energy sources at our factories in Japan and overseas. We also accelerate efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the Environmental Targets 2030, which was revised in November 2022.
As the entire Group, we will work on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the Environmental Targets 2030. As for GHG reduction target, we applied to SBTi for a change from Well-Below 2 °C to 1.5 °C and the proposal was approved in July 2023. In line with the target, we promote plans to introduce solar power generation systems, in addition to promoting energy-saving activities more than ever before. And we plan to switch purchased power to renewable energy sources.
