4. Reduced Environmental Footprint
We will reduce our environmental footprint, establishing targets in relation to relevant environmental issues and always considering the impact our operations exert on the environment.
5. Priority Environmental Initiatives
Our priority environmental initiatives are as follows:
（1）We will actively promote the development, production, and sale of environmentally-friendly products.
（2）We will endeavor to use energy effectively and promote the reduction of greenhouse gases.
（3）We will aim to achieve zero emissions, and promote recycling and the reduction of industrial waste.
（4）We will promote environmental communication with internal and external stakeholders.
In order to achieve the government's target of carbon neutrality by 2050, the Taiyo Holdings Group has set an even higher CO2 emissions reduction target of a 40% reduction in emissions across the group by the fiscal year ending March 2031 compared to the fiscal year ending March 2017.
Additionally, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality in our domestic electronics business by the fiscal year ending March 2031, and a 70% reduction in our domestic medical and pharmaceutical business, with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality across the entire group by 2050.
In the fiscal year ending March 2023, we replaced our air conditioning equipment with ones that are more efficient at reducing CO2 emissions, and in November 2024, we installed thin solar panels on the entire roof of our employee welfare facility and begin generating electricity.
Going forward, the entire group will continue to work proactively to improve the efficiency of existing facilities and introduce renewable energy sources in order to achieve its CO2 reduction targets.
