contributing to a decarbonized society as a strategic priority. The Company has pursued a range of initiatives, including the adoption of solar power equipment at production sites both in Japan and overseas, the procurement of green electricity, the installation of new high-efficiency equipment with strong energy-saving effects, and the expansion of cogeneration system deployment. Going forward, LINTEC will continue to pursue GHG emissions reduction through strategies such as consolidating production facilities for greater efficiency, introducing alternative energy sources like hydrogen, and using AI to manage newly developed electricity storage systems. Obtaining SBTi CertificationTo promote greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction across the entire supply chain, LINTEC has obtained certifi-cation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi),*1 an organization that certifies scientifically grounded emissions reduction targets known as science-based targets (SBTs).*2 The SBTi recognizes a company’s GHG reduction targets as “science-based” when they align with the level of ambition needed to achieve the Paris Agreement’s*3 goal of limiting the global average temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. LINTEC has obtained certification for the following short-term SBTs targeting fiscal 2030: Disclosing Information Based on TCFD RecommendationsWe proactively disclose information on our response to climate change in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and strive to further enhance our corporate value through engagement with our stakeholders.Scope 1 and 2: Reduction of 52% or more (compared with the year ended March 31, 2022) Reduction of 25% or more (compared with the year ended March 31, 2022)Scope 3: Increased Costs due to Carbon PricingFinancial Impact of Transition RisksCapital Investment to Reduce CO2 EmissionsChanges in the Raw Materials Procurement EnvironmentTorrential Rain and Flood DamageFinancial Impact of Physical RisksDroughtsIncrease in Demand for Various Environmentally Friendly ProductsFinancial Impact of OpportunitiesIncrease in Demand for Energy-Saving ProductsNote: Scope 3 includes Category 1—Purchased goods and servicesWe aim to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 75% compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2030, and to achieve virtually zero emissions by 2050. If a carbon tax is introduced, we estimate that the carbon tax burden will be approximately ¥2.0 billion when the target is achieved in 2030. This represents a reduction of approximately ¥1.1 billion compared with a scenario in which no reduction efforts are made.We plan to invest a total of approximately ¥14.7 billion in reducing CO2 emissions in Japan during the period of our long-term vision, LSV 2030. This includes investment in the introduction of solar power generation equipment for in-house use and gas turbine cogeneration systems.Some of our products use raw materials derived from fossil fuels and pulp. Accordingly, we recognize that changes in the raw material procurement environment pose significant long-term risks to our business. We will continue to analyze this impact and consider countermeasures, including raw material conversion and new technologies.We will strive to minimize the impact of these risks and ensure a stable supply of products by sourcing raw materials from multiple suppliers, maintaining appropriate inventories at each location, and building a backup system based on a business continuity plan.We will strive to minimize the impact of droughts by continuing to work on multiple industrial water systems at each site and reducing industrial water consumption.Demand for our environmentally friendly products is expected to increase due to the corporate promotion of global warming countermeasures and changes in consumer awareness of environmentally sustainable lifestyles. We are working to calculate the financial impact of this change.Demand for our energy-saving products is expected to rise due to growing needs for energy conservation and disaster prevention, as well as further industrialization and urbanization in emerging countries. We are working to calculate the financial impact of this change.*1 An initiative that evaluates corporate GHG reduction targets, established by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), World Resources Institute (WRI), and the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)*2 Corporate GHG reduction targets that are aligned with the level of ambition required by the Paris Agreement*3 An international climate accord signed at COP21 in 2015 in Paris. It sets a shared long-term global goal of limiting the rise in average global temperature to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels.As part of its long-term vision, LINTEC has positioned 49
