We set medium-term environmental targets for the Group, and all sites pursue environment impact improvement.
TAIYO YUDEN Group Environmental Targets and Results
“Strengthening responses to climate change” and “efficiently using resources and helping to build a recycling-based society” have been set as the materialities of environmental efforts. To respond especially to climate change, which is a global issue, the targets have been set with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality. To achieve these targets, we will be diligent at saving, generating, and re-using the energy that drives our manufacturing based on the principle of decarbonization.
To reduce the absolute value of GHG emissions, we set target values in accordance with the SBTs (Science-Based Targets).
