Sustainability
Message from the Environmental Officer
Executive Officer
Corporate General Manager,
Production & Procurement Group
In recent years, climate change has had a variety of impacts at global scale. The frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as torrential rains and heat waves as well as their impacts on ecosystems have become a threat that cannot be overlooked in nature and the social economy surrounding us. Furthermore, as a result of past mass consumption and mass disposal activities, a global environmental crisis is progressing, including the loss of biodiversity, pollution, and resource depletion. To address these problems, it is necessary to accelerate initiatives for decarbonization and for the transition to a circular economy, and the role that we as a company must play is becoming increasingly important.
Under the Fuji Electric Basic Environmental Protection Policy, we have positioned global environmental protection as an important issue for management, and we formulated Environmental Vision 2050 in fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2022, we revised our fiscal 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target to align with the 1.5°C level for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, and in fiscal 2024, we established promotion of a circular economy as a Fiscal 2030 Target. The results of our fiscal 2024 periodic review of our Fiscal 2030 Targets (environmental KPIs), which was based on our current medium-term management plan, confirmed that we are expected to be able to achieve each target and that major initiatives are progressing as planned.
Future issues include the promotion of specific initiatives to transition to a circular economy. We will continue to shift to environmentally friendly products that comply with the EU Ecodesign Regulation, and we aim to achieve zero emissions, which will minimize the environmental impact throughout the supply chain.
Furthermore, we will prepare to disclose information appropriately in accordance with nature-related information disclosure schemes (TNFD) and the newly published Japanese sustainability disclosure standards (SSBJ).
We will continue to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society by utilizing the technologies we have developed in the energy and environmental fields.
