Addressing Climate Change
Basic idea
In order to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, the Group will incorporate such measures as energy savings,the use of renewable energy, and the promotion of innovation into its action plan. We will promote concrete initiatives aimed at reducing CO2 emissions in a step-by-step manner with the aim of realizing a sustainable society and a carbon neutral Group.
Metrics and targets
Based on the recent increase in environmental awareness and the Japanese government’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, the Group has formulated its Carbon
Neutral Policy. To fulfill our responsibilities as a member of global society, we set a long-term target which aims to reach carbon neutrality (Scope 1, 2, and 3) in 2050 across the entire Group. In addition, we set a Group-wide interim target for 2030 to reduce actual CO2 emissions by 35% (Scope 1, 2) compared to FY2019.
Main measures to decrease CO2 emissions to achieve carbon neutrality
Initiative
Examples of Energy-saving Activities
[Reduce power consumption through compressor air leak measures]
Compressor air leaks account for a significant ratio of the causes of compressor energy loss. Previously, we would search for the sound of leaks on our days off. However, by introducing
ultrasonic cameras that can detect leaks, we can now search for leaks even under noisy conditions during operation.
Promoting the Adoption of Renewable Energy [Expand solar power generation facilities]
As part of our Group’s carbon neutrality efforts, we are promoting the introduction of renewable energy (solar power generation). In March 2024, we installed solar power generation facilities on owned land (Tachibana, Mino, Gifu Prefecture) for the purpose of promoting further use, and the generated power is being supplied to our Inuyama office. Moving forward, we will continue to promote the adoption of renewable energy throughout our whole Group.
Educating employees about carbon neutrality
Since FY2022, we have been providing education to our employees aimed at achieving our company-wide policy for carbon neutrality. At our in-house educational institution, “DAIDO Metal College,” we hold beginners’ courses on carbon neutrality to cultivate an awareness of decarbonization among younger employees. In FY2023, we started an intermediate course for mid-level employees, and in November 2023, we started distributing information about carbon neutrality to all employees at Group companies under the title, “Carbon Neutral Forest” to increase their awareness.
