Green House Gas (GHG) Emission Calculation

Since FY2022, we have been working on the calculation of GHG emissions at our group companies in Japan.  Based on the data obtained from these calculations, we will first consider specific action plans to achieve our reduction targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our own operations by 2030.  As a manufacturer of industrial machinery, our company is characterized by the fact that emissions from the "Use of sold products" under Scope 3 Category 11 account for well over 90% of our total emissions.  Therefore, it is essential for us to improve the productivity and energy efficiency of our products as well as to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.  Our Sustainability Committee, composed of knowledgeable members from various departments within the company, discuss these issues on a daily basis to work to set Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for reducing GHG emissions.

GHG Emission Reduction Roadmap

Addressing climate change is an essential theme for us, as it allows us to contribute to building a sustainable society while at the same time enhancing our corporate value. We have established medium- to long-term targets for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering both direct emissions from our own business activities (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from the use of purchased electricity, heat, and other energy sources (Scope 2). To achieve these targets, we have developed a clear roadmap.
The figure below outlines our roadmap, showing the level of emission reductions we aim to achieve at each milestone year. Based on this roadmap, we will progressively examine and implement concrete initiatives to drive these reductions. As for Scope 3 emissions (those arising across our entire supply chain), we will strengthen collaboration with our business partners while continuing to pursue every possible reduction effort within our own operations.

Composition of Scope1

The figure below shows the breakdown of our Scope 1 (direct) emissions. Gasoline used in company vehicles accounts for roughly half of the total, followed by fluorocarbons and their substitutes used in air conditioning systems, which make up a significant share.
Together with city gas, diesel, kerosene, and LPG, these sources make up our overall Scope 1 emissions. Going forward, we will prioritize exploring reduction opportunities starting with the largest contributors.
