“As a Japanese company, we have a profoundly deep-rooted respect for nature and sustainable practices. We have always been guided by the principle of Sho Sho Sei, which represents the commitment to continuous improvement behind the development of our world-leading compact, efficient, precise product technology. Our latest Sustainability Report emphasises how we are applying this same, meticulous care and thought into how our proprietary technologies can be developed to contribute to practical, scalable climate solutions. We fully recognise our responsibility to mitigate the impact we have on the planet, and we’re deeply committed to finding ways for our pioneering technology to be used creatively to solve some of the most pressing environmental challenges the world faces.”

Highlights

Delivery optimisation to reduce emissions

By delivering to customers direct from our Asia factories instead of via our central warehouse we anticipate potential future CO₂ emission reductions of up to 10-50% per container¹.

Reduced business travel emissions

We have reduced our business travel emissions by 19% from FY22 to FY23.

100% plastic-free POS marketing materials

Our FY23 goal was to make 90% of our POS (point-of-sale) marketing materials plastic-free. We exceeded this target, achieving 100% plastic-free materials.

Reduced car fleet emissions

We have reduced our average emissions per company car from 95.5gCO₂/km to 92.2gCO₂/km ² by phasing into low carbon emission vehicles.

Diversity, equity and inclusion

We have strengthened our commitment by implementing in-person DE&I manager training and DE&I eLearning for all employees.

MSCI ESG rating

In FY23, MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) assigned us the highest AAA ESG rating. This global ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment index informs the world’s leading investors.
