Medium-to-Long-term Environmental Targets (CO₂ Emission Reduction Targets)

The Group developed the medium-to-long-term environmental targets 2030/2050 in FY2020 to contribute to the realization of sustainable society, and are striving to reduce CO₂ emissions. Amid the accelerating movements to realize a decarbonized society around the world, the Group updated the medium-to-long term environmental targets 2030/2050 developed in FY2020 with more aggressive targets in FY2021. We have launched a decarbonization promotion project to achieve the medium-to long-term environmental targets and is working proactively on initiatives in five areas (1.Energy saving, 2.Electrification, 3.Procure renewable energy, 4.Energy creation, 5.Emissions trading). We also set ICP (Internal carbon pricing) in investment decisions and study how to operate it in order to accelerate decarbonization initiatives.
