MISUMI Group Inc. (Head Office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director and President: Ryusei Ono) introduced CO2-free electricity*1 in a total of seven of our production bases in Japan including the Head Office, Kansai Factory and Ami Factory of SURUGA Production Platform Co., Ltd. and Mishima Seiki Co., Ltd. in April 2022. As a result, we expect that we will reduce CO2 emissions from our production bases in Japan by approximately 6,000 tons a year.

Electricity with CO2-free value derived from renewable energy power sources that do not emit CO2 during power generation
We announced our support for the TFCD*2 recommendations in September 2021. That same month, we made an announcement that we would join the TCFD Consortium of companies which support the TCFD recommendations. We have conducted various climate change-related risk and business impact assessments focused on the manufacturing businesses, which have significant environmental impact as an initiative to tackle climate change. In addition, we have set a target for fiscal 2030 of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2)*3 by 42% compared to fiscal 2020 to realize carbon neutrality in 2050.

Scope 1: Direct emissions of greenhouse gases emitted by business operators themselves (fuel combustion and industrial processes)/ Scope 2: Indirect emissions accompanying the use of electricity, heat and steam supplied by other companies
The CO2-free electricity we have now introduced is one of our initiatives to achieve that target. We will reduce CO2 emissions from our production bases in Japan by approximately 6,000 tons a year. That will be an 8.6% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) over our entire group compared to fiscal 2020.
We will continue to tackle climate change over our whole group in the future.
