Mid-Term Environmental Goals 2025-2027

  • *Because we achieved the 2025 environmental goal (35% reduction from the FY2018 base year) ahead of schedule, we set the next environmental goals one year earlier than originally planned. In the new goals, we have set two priority tasks of “Addressing climate change” and “Conserving the global ecosystem by contributing to building a resource-recycling society.”
