Daicel Corporation
Daicel Corporation (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Yasuhiro Sakaki) announces that the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets set by the Daicel Group have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on April 2, 2026. These targets are aligned with the initiative's goal of limiting the global average temperature increase to 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels.
<Targets validated by the SBTi>
- Near-term target -
・By FY2031/3, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 50.4% compared to FY2019/3.
・By FY2031/3, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 3 *1 (Raw material procurement, fuel and energy procurement, logistics) by 30% compared to FY2019/3.
- Net-zero target -
・By FY2051/3, achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain.
(Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 by 90% compared to FY2019/3. Remaining emissions will be neutralized *2.)
*1: The target is to achieve a 30% reduction in total emissions from Categories 1, 3, and 4.
Category 1: GHG emissions associated with the production of purchased raw materials, components, products, and services
Category 3: GHG emissions from upstream processes such as extraction, refining, and power generation of purchased fuels and electricity
Category 4: GHG emissions from upstream transportation and storage related to the procurement of raw materials and products
*2: Neutralizing residual emissions that cannot be fully eliminated even through reduction efforts aligned with a 1.5℃ emissions pathway, by utilizing forest-based removals and carbon removal technologies outside the value chain.
Going forward, the Daicel Group will continue to promote initiatives to reduce GHG emissions with a value-chain-wide perspective, while striving to balance responses to climate change with sustainable business growth. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance corporate trust and contribute to the creation of a sustainable society.
