Environmental Initiatives

To help achieve a sustainable society that helps embody our vision - “Vibrant People, Beautiful Planet” - the Itoki Group has formulated a Mid-Term Environmental Plan, and we are taking a multifaceted approach that includes decarbonization, biodiversity, and circular economies as we conduct activities throughout our supply chain. In response to environmental issues that include climate change, water shortages, resource depletion, and the loss of biodiversity, we will continue to take steps to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities in all areas and thus help promote sustainable development in order to protect the earth’s future.

Environmental policy

The Itoki Group has established the "Itoki Group Environmental Policy" and specific "Action Guidelines" that serve as guidelines for all environmental activities, and shares these with the entire group and suppliers as we engage in environmental conservation activities.

external initiatives

The Itoki Group actively participates in initiatives related to climate change. We will strive to improve information disclosure by expressing support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), responding to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and supporting the Climate Change Initiative (JCI). We will continue to promote climate change countermeasures.

Medium-term environmental plan

We have formulated a three-year medium-term environmental plan based on our long-term environmental plan until 2050, and the entire group is working together on environmental activities. Furthermore, based on the medium-term environmental plan, we extract operational risks and opportunities from business processes, set annual environmental targets through materiality analysis, and develop more focused activities. Through this, we will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable recycling-oriented society as a company through improvement activities.
