DIC Group’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been officially endorsed by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being consistent with levels that climate science says are necessary to limit average global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The DIC Group, including Sun Chemical Corporation, is working to lower emissions of CO2 from its sites with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality.
DIC Group Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets (Base Year: Fiscal Year 2019) include the following scopes: Scope 1 and 2: Reduce CO2 emissions by 27.5% by fiscal year 2030. Scope 3: Categories 2, 3, 4, 5 and 12: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 13.5% by fiscal year 2030; and Category 1: Achieve engagement with suppliers accounting for 80% of procurement spending by fiscal year 2027.
DIC and DIC Group companies in Japan have established an Energy-Saving Promotion Committee at each site, which verifies the progress of initiatives, engages in discussions and conducts energy-saving patrols, while Group companies overseas carry out a wide range of independent measures that align with group policies, creating a framework for implementing the Group CO2 emissions reduction efforts.
