Kao to realize carbon zero in 2040 and carbon negative in 2050

 Kao aims to reduce CO2 emissions from its business activities to zero by 2040 and to be negative by 2050 by working on "reduce innovation" and "recycling innovation" of CO2 toward the realization of a carbon-free society.


The company formulated the ESG strategy "Kirei Lifestyle Plan" in April 2019, and set 19 priority action themes.


The medium- to long-term target set to achieve this "decarbonization" target has been certified as a "1.5 ° C target" by the SBT initiative, which is an international initiative, and 100% of the electricity used by the business is renewable energy. It is also a member of the international initiative "RE100", which aims to cover electricity. In 2021, as one of the achievements, we achieved 100% renewable energy consumption at all logistics bases in Japan.

In 2021, in addition to the utilization of conventional non-fossil certificates, the newly adopted corporate PPA will be utilized at the head office for purchased electricity, and the group's largest self-consumed solar power generation facility will be introduced at the Sakata Plant in terms of electricity consumption. We promoted the conversion of electric power to renewable energy.


In addition, 100% renewable energy consumption has been realized at all logistics bases, Sumida Plant, and Sakata Factory in Japan.


In 2022, by adopting the in-house carbon price system, which was raised last year, in addition to the conventional Japan, we will continue to regenerate while promoting the introduction of equipment with low CO2 emissions and solar power generation equipment for private consumption. Accelerate the use of possible energy.
