Initiatives to reduce CO₂ emissions

In order to transition to a low-carbon society and achieve net zero CO₂ emissions, the Group has set long-term targets of reducing CO₂ emissions (Scope1, 2) by 50% by FY2030 (compared to the FY2018 level) and achieving net zero emissions by FY2050. In order to achieve these targets, we are actively promoting the utilization of renewable energy by adopting energy-saving facilities while working to increase productivity.
We also operate solar power generation facilities at nine domestic and five overseas business sites, making use of their premises in reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 3,000 tons or more. We will continue to promote the introduction of solar power generation facilities in order to achieve net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2050.

CO₂ emissions results

In fiscal 2024, through initiatives such as the introduction of renewable energy and streamlining, we reduced CO₂ emissions by 52% compared to fiscal 2018, achieving our target.

CO₂ emissions ratio by energy type

In addition, Noritake continuously monitors the amount of logistics transport in order to achieve efficient logistics. In fiscal 2024, our CO₂ emissions were 2,561 tons with 14.39 million ton-kilometers of logistics transport.

Overall picture of environmental burden

We are working to reduce environmental burden more effectively by monitoring the overall environmental burden of the entire product life cycle from raw material procurement to disposal after product use.
The Noritake Group calculates greenhouse gas emissions in line with international standards Scope 1 to 3 and uses them as an activity indicator.

* Calculation method

• ・Calculated in accordance with the Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Throughout the Supply Chain Ver 2.0.”
• ・Categories 9, 10, 13, and 14 out of the 15 categories of Scope 3 were excluded from the calculation because they are not applicable.
