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
Medium-term Environmental Plan

| (3) Management of chemical substances | ・Hazardous chemical substances (vs. fiscal 2019): -4.5% (Fujinomiya Works) |
・Hazardous chemical substances (vs. fiscal 2019): -23.1% (8,416kg) [Achieved] (Fujinomiya Works) |
| (4) Biodiversity | ・Forest management plan initiatives (Fujinomiya Works) | ・Ongoing forest management plan initiatives (Fujinomiya Works) |
- *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
The AMADA Group Sets Targets Based on the SBT and Has Received Certification as of November 2022.
The Group has set SBT for greenhouse gas reduction goals based on the Paris Agreement, an international framework for combating global warming. Companies are recognized by the SBTi if their individually set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are deemed to contribute to the international goal of limiting the global temperature increase to less than 2°C above preindustrial levels (Well Below 2°C) or within 1.5°C. The Group's targets based on the SBT (for Scope 1 and Scope 2) meet the requirements of the scenario to keep the temperature increase below 1.5°C.
◆ The target for Scope 1 and Scope 2 is -46.2% in fiscal 2030 (vs. the 54,197 t-CO₂ base value in fiscal 2019) and the target for Scope 3 (Category 1 and Category 11) is -27.5% in fiscal 2030 (vs. the 1,843,569 t-CO₂ base value in fiscal 2019). Our results in fiscal 2024 were -73.5% (14,363 t-CO₂) versus fiscal 2019 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 and -1.2% (1,821,207 t-CO₂) versus fiscal 2019 for Scope 3 (Category 1 and Category 11)
- The above data are preliminary as of June 2025.
