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.

Achievement status of the mid-term environmental targets (FY2019-2021)

	Details of targets
CO₂	1% reduction to YoY CO₂ emissions through business activities
Industrial waste	Continuation of zero emissions^* Reduction of usage volume
Water	Reduction of YoY usage volume Compliance with independent standards for water quality
VOC	Equal or reduced YoY usage volume

*Definition of zero emissions: “Zero waste emissions” is defined as a reuse/recycling ratio of 99.5% or more.
