Environmental Targets 2030

Furukawa Electric Group set Environmental Targets 2030 and makes efforts to contribute to a carbon-free society, a recycling-based society for water and resources, and a society in harmony with nature. In order to accelerate our efforts to achieve the Environmental Vision 2050, the Group raised our 2030 target to the SBT 1.5°C in November 2022 as the contribution to a carbon free society.
