CO₂ emissions reduction

COSEL's target was to reduce its CO₂ emissions to 30% or less in FY 2030 vs. FY 2020, but to accelerate related eff orts, we have moved the goal forward and are working toward carbon neutrality by FY 2030.
We launched a project to reduce electric power use, which accounts for a large share of energy consumption, under which we are actively promoting energy conservation activities (such as adoption of energy saving machinery and conserving electricity).
We are also making active progress on switching to renewable energy. In FY 2024 we adopted an off site PPA and reduced Scope 2 emissions to zero at sales facilities through use of non-fossil-fuel certifi cates.
We will continue to promote further activities to conserve energy and prevent global warming, through means including reducing use of fossil fuels.

Use of renewable energy

In 2002, we installed 60 kW solar panels on the roof of the new head offi ce building, and we have expanded and updated the power generation equipment since then. Currently, we operate solar power generation equipment of 99 kW at the head offi ce factory and 150 kW at the Tateyama factory.
We have also installed internal power generation display monitors so that employees can check the amount of power generated at any time.
