At the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), the Paris Agreement was adopted and a target was set to limit the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and limiting it to 1.5°C if possible.
Having recognized that climate change is an urgent issue for everyday life and our business activities, the NH Foods Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Specifically, we are utilizing renewable energy, thoroughly conserving energy, and driving other efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Targets
One of the Five Materialities is Contributing to a sustainable environment. Based on this, we have set medium- to long-term targets to be achieved by 2030.
In response to climate change, we have set targets and are promoting activities for reducing CO2 emissions at both our domestic and overseas business locations.
Promotion Systems
Please refer to promotion systems on the environmental management page.
In particular, the Director of Sustainability is in charge of operation of climate change initiatives.
Policies, policy formulation, and initiatives related to climate change are discussed by the Sustainability Committee, deliberated on by management committees, and referred to the Board of Directors, which is the decision-making body.
About TCFD
In 2018, we joined the Japan Climate Initiative*1 and in June 2020, we endorsed the proposal presented by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures*2 (TCFD) and became a member of TCFD Consortium*3.
From fiscal 2021, we established the TCFD Task Council to evaluate the risks and opportunities accompanying climate change and do a scenario analysis. Measures for responding to risks and opportunities are being considered, and we have been disclosing information based on the TCFD Framework since May 2022.
