■Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets Validated by the SBTi

AISAN Group considers addressing climate change through its business activities to be one of its most important issues. 
To date, we have promoted the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 emissions by improving energy conservation, innovating production technology, and utilizing renewable energy. In addition, through MCK(Motto Carbon-neutral Kyoka; further strengthening carbon neutrality) activities in cooperation with our suppliers, we have worked to reduce Scope 3 emissions by replacing with low-CO2 materials and reducing the weight of products. Going forward, we will further strengthen our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

*1 SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative): An international initiative jointly established in 2015 by CDP, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
