Environmental Measures

Formulating Medium-Term Environmental Targets

We are promoting environmentally conscious business activities for the realization of a sustainable society. Specifically, we have been engaged in initiatives to reduce environmental impact on a group-wide basis, e.g., setting the target of achieving zero CO2 emissions from the consumption of electricity for business by fiscal 2030 and formulating medium-term environmental targets regarding the promotion of waste recycling, the reduction of water usage, and other activities.
In addition, we have agreed with the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and are analyzing the risks and opportunities of climate change in our business and are ensuring they are reflected in our management strategy.
