Environmental Policy

Environmental Policy

As a member of the global community, we recognize that environmental issues are global challenges of critical importance, and we are committed to acting responsibly and engaging in initiatives aimed at the realization of a sustainable society.

Triggered by the Paris Agreement of 2015 and the consensus at COP26 in 2021 that the world should pursue efforts toward limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C, the movement toward a decarbonized society has been accelerating in recent years. In response to these social demands, we have formulated the following Environmental Policy and Action Guidelines to harmonize global environmental conservation, including climate change countermeasures, with our business activities, and to promote environmentally conscious corporate management aimed at realizing sustainable growth. We believe that most climate change issues are the responsibility of our current generation. Rather than leaving these issues to our children and grandchildren, we must address and resolve them ourselves. Each employee will practice the Action Guidelines and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
