2023 Medium-Term Environmental Plan
We established our 2023 Medium-Term Environmental Plan and are working to reach these targets.
2023 Medium-Term Environmental Plan
Based on our Environmental Vision, we established our 2020 Medium-Term Environmental Plan for the three-year planning period starting in April 2018, and the entire Group worked to reduce our environmental impact and resolve environmental issues.
In fiscal 2021, we established our 2023 Medium-Term Environmental Plan which focuses on the three pillars of products, business, and awareness. We are working toward these targets and aim to contributing to achieving SDGs.
