Sustainability

Hosiden Group joined the Commitment to a Low-carbon Society Plan　(renamed as the Carbon Neutrality Action Plan in the fiscal year 2021) hosted by the Japanese electrical and electronics industry　in the fiscal year 2016 and has been actively working towards improving energy efficiency in line with its industry's goals.
[ Industry Goals ]
Based on the fiscal year 2020 baseline, we aim to improve the energy intensity by an average of at least 1% per year through fiscal year 2030.
46% reduction in total CO2 emissions from FY2023 levels by the end of FY2030 (Scope 1 and 2)

Hosiden committed to the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative in March 2025 and obtained certification in August 2025 (with the SBT announcement made in September). This represents a declaration of our intention to pursue decarbonization more ambitiously. Around the time of the March commitment, we also began promoting the development and implementation of a decarbonization plan aimed at achieving SBT-level reduction targets.
【SBT-level CO2 emissions reduction targets 】
Medium-term target　：
Scope 1 and 2 GHG　emissions 42% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year.
Scope 3 GHG　emissions 25% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year.　

As part of our decarbonization efforts, we are implementing renewable energy and energy-saving initiatives across the entire group.
・As part of our renewable energy initiatives, in addition to installing solar power systems at the Head Office and Tokyo Plant, we are conducting surveys on installations at overseas group companies (with the Vietnam factory scheduled to start operations in fiscal year 2026) and considering additional installations. Regarding the switch to renewable electricity, starting in fiscal year 2025, domestic sites (excluding some sales offices) have transitioned to purchasing 100% renewable energy-derived electricity, and we have begun investigating the purchase of renewable electricity at overseas sites. *Please refer to the table below for the status and plans of our renewable energy initiatives.
・As part of our energy-saving initiatives, we select highly energy-efficient equipment when introducing new facilities or replacing existing ones, and we consider fuel switching with decarbonization in mind whenever possible. Additionally, as everyday efforts, we manage air conditioning temperatures appropriately, switch lighting to LED and encourage frequent turn-offs, reduce company-owned vehicles, and promote idling stops, all as part of a united effort that includes raising employee awareness.

The following table presents the Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions performance of our global group.
