Environmental Targets and Plans
Our stance toward environmental initiatives
The AMADA Group’s environmental initiatives focus on its aim to become an enterprise that uses ecological manufacturing to connect with its customers, society, and the world. Following the Environmental Declaration, set in fiscal 2010 and stating our medium-term targets for fiscal 2025, we have now established the AMADA Group 2030 Medium-term Environmental Plan (AMADA GREEN ACTION PLAN 2030), stating our medium-term targets through fiscal 2030. Here, we have made a commitment to action on three important issues: the realization of a decarbonized society, the realization of a recycling-oriented society, and the conservation and regeneration of biodiversity.
Given the above, the AMADA Group has formulated its Medium-term Environmental Plan regarding the following four items.
- Realizing a Decarbonized Society (reducing CO₂ emissions in the product lifecycle and business processes)
- Realizing a Recycling-Oriented Society
- Management of Chemical Substances
- Implementing a Range of Actions to Conserve Biodiversity

- *1Waste base value data from 2019 for some affiliates uses data from fiscal 2020, as these affiliates do not have data for 2019.
- *2Zero emission rate: Weight of landfill waste divided by weight of all discharged waste
- *3Green infrastructure: Efforts to promote sustainable and attractive national and regional development by utilizing the diverse functions of the natural environment in both hard and soft aspects, such as social capital development and land use
