In Environmental Action Program 2030, we have set a target of reducing GHG emissions by 20% (1,567 kt-CO2e) compared to the base year (FY2018). In order to achieve the target, we take continuous measures to improve energy efficiency (reducing energy consumption intensity by thorough energy conservation) and increase the renewable energy usage rate (such as reducing coal fuel consumption and installing private solar power systems).
Through efforts such as the use of non-use of fossil fuels and reduction of energy consumption, SCOPE1+2 emissions have been reduced from 7,836 kt-CO2e in the base year (FY2018) to 7,606 kt-CO2e in FY2021, a reduction of 3%.
Energy consumption in FY2021 was reduced by 7.2% to 5,400 thousand kL crude oil equivalent, compared to 5,822 thousand kL crude oil equivalent in the base year (FY18).
In FY2021, SCOPE 3 (Category 1: Purchased Product Services) was 3,663 thousand t-CO2e compared to 3,923 thousand t-CO2e in the base year (FY18), a 6.6% reduction.
This represents a reduction of 6.6%.
