The Group recognizes the problem of climate change as a key social issue. We believe that it poses a risk to the Group, while also presenting new business opportunities. Accordingly, through our business activities, we will contribute to the realization of a transition to a decarbonized society.
Governance related to climate change is incorporated into our overall sustainability-related governance. With regard to issues related to climate change, working groups covering climate change study and implement specific initiatives and monitor the results. The Sustainability Committee deliberates the contents of initiatives and the monitoring of results, and the contents of these deliberations are presented and reported to the Board of Directors. We have built a structure by which responses to issues are properly carried out under the supervision of the Board of Directors and the directions of representative Directors.
Regarding the impact of climate change on the business activities and profit of the Group, we identified risks and opportunities by referring to climate change scenarios, such as those of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Furthermore, the Group aims to achieve a 50% reduction by FY2030 from the level of the Group’s Scope 1 + Scope 2 GHG emissions in FY2021, and in our recent scenario analysis, we similarly use 2030 as a timeframe for analysis.
The risk management related to climate change is embedded in the risk management for sustainability in general. Against risks related to climate change, the Sustainability Committee and the Working Group on Climate Change will take specific countermeasures and monitor indicators that result from those countermeasures.
As part of its policy toward achieving a decarbonized society, the Group’s has set targets of achieving a 50% reduction by FY2030 from the level of the Group’s Scope 1 + Scope 2 GHG emissions in FY2021, and achieving carbon neutrality by FY2050. To achieve these targets, we will work to reduce GHG emissions from our business activities.
