The Denka Group expressed its support for the TCFD in September 2020 and joined the Consortium.
In accordance with the processes indicated in the TCFD Recommendations, we will continue to verify the impact of climate change, risks and opportunities posed by policies and regulations, market changes, and technological innovations toward a low-carbon society and decarbonized society as set out in the Paris Agreement.
The President is responsible for addressing medium- to long-term climate change issues, and the Sustainability Promotion Department, under the supervision of the Board of Directors and the Executive Officer in charge of Environmental Measures, oversees the Company as a whole. After discussions at The Sustainability Committee on important matters such as target setting, formulation of basic policies and important measures, and setting and evaluating management indicators, decisions are made by the President.
The Denka Group has positioned the reduction of CO 2 emissions as the most important issue in environmental management and is working toward achieving a 60% reduction from the 2013 fiscal year level by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050. In addition to promoting energy conservation and expanding the use of renewable energy, mainly hydroelectric power, we will change our production processes to ones that do not emit CO 2, consider the introduction of innovative technologies such as hydrogen utilization, and aim to start implementing these measures by 2030 through joint development with external research institutions. Furthermore, we will address environmental issues across the entire value chain, expanding our perspective to cover environmental impact over the total product life cycle.
The Denka Group actively discloses climate change information covering the entire value chain and has been responding to the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire since fiscal 2015 with the aim of enhancing environmental management and corporate value through the sustainable use of resources and energy. In fiscal 2019, we expanded our response to include water security. Furthermore, we objectively analyze our responses to the CDP and conduct governance related to environmental management and consideration of climate change to examine and improve risks and opportunities through future insights. In fiscal 2022, we obtained scores of A- for climate change and B for water security.
