Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate strategy. We focus on the themes that a global team has identified as essential for the Kuraray Group. By working on these themes, we are also contributing to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
As part of our “PASSION 2026” management plan and its pillars “Planet” and “Product”, we aim to reduce our global CO2 emissions to net zero by 2050. To achieve that, we have updated our interim targets: we are working to reduce our CO2 emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 63 percent by 2035 (reference base 2021). We have also set a new target for CO2 emissions in our supply chain (Scope 3): Two-thirds of Scope 3 emissions at Kuraray come from purchased products and services (category 1). We aim to reduce emissions in this category by 37.5 percent by 2035 – also in relation to 2021. We endeavour to obtain validation of our Scope 1 to 3 targets by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the near future. Moreover, by 2026, we want to generate 60 percent of our sales with products that contribute to environmental protection and improve the quality of life. Thanks to our continuously growing portfolio of innovative and sustainable products, we are already close to achieving this goal.
Because we understand sustainability holistically, PASSION 2026 has another pillar. Under "People", we summarize all our social and employee-related activities, which are just as important to us as our environmental goals.
