In fiscal 2023, the first fiscal year of Go for Green 2025, we achieved the targets in 11 of the 13 items as follows.
The first item “Operation for a Greener Global Environment” mainly concerns itself with production activities and is the approach from our and the supply chain’s decarbonization, enhancement of life cycle assessment (LCA), and circular economy, which prevents environmental pollution. The second item “Contribution to the Global Environment Through Our Business” urges our Group to make further green contribution by setting a goal of expanding sales of products and services contributing to a greener society as well as Eco products designed to reduce environment load through their own performance. The third item “Promotion of Eco-Activities 2030” is an activity that contributes to conservation of biodiversity and environmental preservation by accumulating day-to-day ecological activities in each business once such as tree-planting, local nature conservation activities, and conversion of waste into valuable materials through waste sorting.
