Initiatives to Reduce GHG Emissions

Among the seven material issues of the Joshin Group, we have positioned “Contributing to a prosperous society in harmony with the global environment” as one of our key priorities. In particular, as an interim target toward achieving carbon neutrality, we set a fiscal 2030 GHG emission reduction target of 42.0% for Scopes 1 and 2 compared to fiscal 2021, and our application to the SBT initiative was officially accepted. We will continue our efforts to achieve these GHG emission reductions ahead of schedule, just as we have done to date.

For indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3) in the supply chain throughout the Joshin Group, carry out initiatives for acquiring primary data with suppliers in order to satisfy IFRS S2, which was developed in order to provide a global baseline for system disclosure based on the primary voluntary disclosure that was previously used for sustainability disclosure.
