net zero section
Our commitment to net zero
With our cutting-edge technology, we are taking immediate actions to reduce our carbon footprint. Guided by science-based, measurable pathways, we are aligning our goals with those of our customers, committing ourselves to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
Synergy across the value chain
In our environmental strategy, we've established a value chain with "responsible supply chain," "sustainable operations," and "sustainable products" as the cornerstones. Within this framework, we've devised three key strategic pillars: "supply chain carbon reduction," "climate change resilience," and "low-carbon products." These pillars serve as our compass in identifying climate change risks and opportunities, setting reduction targets, and driving our initiatives.
Aligning with international initiatives
We are proactively engaging with international environmental initiatives such as SDGs, SBT, CDP, and TCFD. Setting science-based goals, we are taking concrete actions to build resilience to climate risks and mitigate the growing threat of climate disasters on our business operations.
