Teijin Supports JCI’s Call for More Ambitious
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Target in JapanTokyo, Japan, April 20, 2021 --- Teijin Limited announced today its support for astatement issued recently by the Japan Climate Initiative (JCI) calling for Japan’s official
greenhouse gas emissions-reduction target in 2030, currently set at 26% below the 2013
emissions level, to be revised to a more ambitious 45% and also to increase the country’s
ratio of renewable-energy usage to 40-50%.
The JCI is a network committed to strengthening communication and the exchange ofbest strategies and solutions among entities in Japan that are working to combat climatechange. The statement encourages Japanese companies, local governments andorganizations to help achieve the country’s emissions-reduction targets and collectively
demonstrate Japan’s willingness to strengthen global efforts to combat climate change.
Teijin’s internal goals for lowering its groupwide environmental impact include achieving
net-zero emissions by fiscal 2050, such as by gradually replacing its current sources ofelectricity with renewable energy. As one such practical initiative, earlier this year Teijinintroduced internal carbon pricing (ICP) to quantify CO2 emissions as costs and thereby
create economic incentives to reduce emissions. Also this year, Teijin committed tosetting science-based targets (SBT) within two years to support the Paris Agreement's
goal of limiting the average global temperature rise to well less than two degrees Celsius
from pre-Industrial Revolution levels, which is expected to significantly reduce the risks
and impacts of climate change.
As a people-focused company, Teijin provides innovative solutions for enhanced qualityof life and works to minimize any negative impact on the environment or society throughits business activities.
