In advancing the businesses of manufacturing aircraft interiors and instruments, as well as aircraft maintenance, the majority of our facilities are in Japan, and we are aware that converting the energy these domestic facilities use to energy from natural sources is the first step in our decarbonization efforts. Another crucial policy is initiatives to reduce energy usage in facilities and infrastructure relating to our manufacturing and maintenance services.
Beginning FY2023, we are investigating such initiatives as adopting solar power infrastructure in our domestic facilities and refining production technologies in our manufacturing processes, as we undertake to strive for business development in low-energy manufacturing and maintenance processes.
As we proceed by trial and error to realize our customers’ demands in product development and research into innovative technologies, we proceed with such initiatives as giving feedback in the form of statements to our customers aimed at utilizing sustainable materials and parts, as well as participating in consortia for such as development of technologies for decarbonization in the aircraft industry overall, continuously devoting ourselves to creating new technologies.
We are taking steps to reduce energy usage by using LED lighting, replacing company vehicles with electric vehicles (EV), and optimizing the settings of compressors, air conditioners, etc.
Turning to further initiatives, we will proceed to further reduce energy use by actions including greater efficiency and automation of our plants through such steps as promoting digitization and DX, and introduction of solar power and other renewable energy, to achieve our GHG emissions reduction target of “50% or greater reduction from FY2019 levels in total Scope 1 and Scope 2 of the Group overall by 2030, and striving to realize being carbon neutral by 2050.”

- GHG Emissions
Beginning FY2022, we are undertaking to compute and comprehend our GHG emissions for disclosures based on the statement framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Having completed building the scheme for computing Groupwide Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions, we have been making these computations continually since FY2022. We are undertaking to build a scheme for computing Scope 3 throughout our supply chain.
Regarding particular CO2 emissions reduction plans, in addition to our existing Groupwide energy saving activities and proactive upgrades to energy saving infrastructure, we are accelerating initiatives aimed at building systems that convert our manufacturing and maintenance plant production into economical, efficient operating processes and installing solar power infrastructure. Turning to CO2 emissions reductions across our product lifecycle, we are proactively proceeding with deliberations with our various subcontractor corporations as part of our Scope 3 emissions reduction efforts.
