Greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction

Reduction policy

As a company that relies on natural resources for many of its raw materials, we are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are important issues that affect global warming and climate change, as well as raw material production and crop yields.

CO2 medium- to long-term reduction target

J-OIL MILLS has set a goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 45% compared to fiscal 1990 by fiscal 2020, and the production department is working to install its own energy generation equipment and efficiently supply energy from other companies. We are promoting energy use efficiency by proceeding with the development of energy saving systems, and achieved a reduction of more than 45% in fiscal 2020.
In fiscal 2021, we set a new goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 50% (Scope 1, 2) compared to fiscal 2013 by fiscal 2030. At the same time, we are striving to achieve carbon neutrality by achieving zero emissions by fiscal 2050, and will continue to take further initiatives to achieve this goal. We also aim to reduce CO2 emissions from purchased raw materials and product manufacturing throughout the supply chain (Scope 3).

Starting in fiscal 2022, our company has incorporated ESG indicators into the individual performance targets of executives. One of the ESG indicators we incorporate is climate change response, such as reducing CO2 emissions. By introducing incentives that link executive remuneration and ESG indicators, we will strengthen executives' initiatives of climate change countermeasures and promote ESG Management.
Additionally, from April 2023, we have introduced an internal carbon pricing (ICP) system. We will continue to accelerate the movement toward carbon neutrality and actively work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are important issues that affect global warming, climate change, and raw material production and crop yields.
