This time, Azbil has reviewed and strengthened its FY2030 near-term target for its business activities (scope 1+2), raising the reduction target from 55% (compared to theFY2017 levels) to 60%. In addition, Azbil has expanded the target boundary to cover Azbil Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. This updated target satisfies the SBTi criteria and has received validation as an “update of near-term science-based targets.”

This update reflects that our initiatives are progressing ahead of plan, taking into account that we achieved our previous FY2030 target of a 55% reduction ahead of schedule in FY2024. Going forward, under our decarbonization transition plan, we will further strengthen efforts to reduce GHG emissions from our business activities by leveraging the energy-saving technologies we have developed through our business, and by proactively using and harnessing renewable energy.

Guided by the Group philosophy of “human-centered automation,” we will continue our sincere efforts to find solutions to the issues facing humanity, such as global warming and climate change, and to realize a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.
