Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  • We aim at reducing the total of Scope 1 and 2 in Japan by 57% at the end of FY2031 compared to FY2021 levels. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from in-house fuel use. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from electric power we buy and heat.
  • In FY2024, we began calculating data for Scope 3 (indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and 2 [emissions from other companies related to our business activities]) in Japan and Scope 1 and 2 overseas. In FY2025, we disclosed Scope 1 and 2 data overseas and conducted interviews at each overseas location to analyze emissions and consider reduction methods.

 

 

Target: 57% reduction compared to FY2021 by the end of FY2031*

 

                                           *The target figures were revised in May 2025 in consideration of Net sales growth through the end of FY2031

Greenhouse gas emissions

  • Scope2 has been reduced by switching to renewable energy in FY2023 and will continue to be reduced.

Switching to Electricity Derived from Renewable Energies

    YUSHIN has switched all of power consumption at the headquarters/Technical Center and the regional sales offices directly contracted with power supply companies, to renewably generated powers since April 2022. This is achieved by purchasing the renewable powers and using the solar power generated on site. The facilities consume about 2 million kWh electricity per year. The switch reduces  CO_{2} emissions by about 740 tons per year.

The panels generate as much power as the branch office requires where the renewable energy is not available.

Gradual Transition to Environmentally Friendly Vehicle (hybrid vehicles)

    In March 2022, we have decided to gradually switch to environmentally friendly vehicles (hybrid vehicles).

    We have set a target of 77% hybrid vehicle adoption by the end of FY2031. We will promote further environmental friendliness through the active introduction of hybrid vehicles and our existing efforts to promote eco-driving.
