Advancing sustainability in line with international standards

The Astemo Group is advancing initiatives that ensure transparency and reliability, including obtaining certifications under international climate change initiatives, to contribute to a sustainable future.
In addition, by collaborating with sustainability-related initiatives both in Japan and overseas, we contribute to decarbonization across society as a whole.

Obtained Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) certification

The Astemo Group’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for 2030 have been set in accordance with the GHG Protocol, an international standard for calculating and reporting GHG emissions, to increase the transparency of the targets based on scientific evidence. As a result, we have obtained certification from the SBTi*, an international climate change initiative for our short-term target of reducing emissions by at least five years and up to 10 years from the base year.
