We incorporate greenhouse gas emission reduction targets approved by the Board of Directors into our Medium-term Management Plan. We identify these targets as key issues for our group, set KPIs, and manage progress.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 2050 Target: Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Switch 100% of electricity required for operations to renewable energy<\/li>\n
  2. FY2030 Target: Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46% (compared to FY2017, Japan); Renewable energy ratio for electricity: 30%<\/li>\n
  3. Reduce CO2<\/sub> emissions (Scope 1, 2) by 22.6% compared to 2022 levels by 2028, achieving an annual reduction rate of 3.7% (including major overseas factories)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Our group views fulfilling corporate social responsibility as a key management priority. Guided by our corporate philosophy of \"creating good products and contributing to society's development,\" we are committed to developing environmentally conscious and socially beneficial products.
    \nWe develop and provide products that contribute to society, such as sensor development utilizing core technologies like MEMS that lead to low power consumption, product design for ultra-compact resistors considering lightness, thinness, compactness, and short length, products for BEVs and HEVs that contribute to CO2 reduction, and IoT systems that contribute to operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
