Prevention of Global Warming

Basic Concept

Activities for the carbon neutrality

Pioneer group addresses the sustainable management to achieve the carbon neutrality specifying the “climate change” as one of the most important social issues. As for the Greenhouse gas emission (Scope1*¹+Scope2*²) from our business operation, we have set a milestone of 42% reduction by the fiscal year ending in March 2031 from base year of the fiscal year ended in March 2021. For Scope 3*³, we are targeting Category 1 and 11, which account for the majority of emissions in our operations, with the goal of a 42% reduction. In Category 1, we will also initiative supplier engagement activities for the approximately 10% of our suppliers to promote and support the setting of science-based GHG emissions reduction targets.
We will also cooperate with our customers then address to reduce it aggressively as for the lifecycle CO₂ regarding products and services. Moreover, in the mobility field, we have begun providing solution services which contribute to drastic challenges in vehicle usage and logistics, thereby contributing to carbon neutrality and our business growth. In order to enhance information disclosure regarding these climate change, we strive to organize our sustainable business management strategies and prepare disclosure of environmental information in line with international initiatives such as TCFD and GRI.
The above GHG emissions reduction targets have been certified by SBTi.

Scope 1: An organization’s direct GHG emissions (fuel combustion, industrial processes, etc.)

Scope 2: Indirect emissions associated with the use of electricity, heat, or steam supplied from another company.

Scope3: Indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur throughout a company's value chain.

Countermeasure Plan
against Global Warming
in Saitama Prefecture

The target value of global warming countermeasures at sites proceeded by Pioneer has been established by considering various promises with stakeholders. Large-scale sites promote activities based on the frameworks of Energy Saving laws, and some sites focus on global warming countermeasure proceeded by local government.

Kawagoe Plant participates the Cap-and-Trade Emissions Trading System of Saitama Prefecture, takes reduction activities for the reduction target specified for production industry, then achieves the target by not using the emissions trading.

The third-party verification

To report about the Cap-and-Trade Emissions Trading System of Saitama Prefecture, Kawagoe Plant had the third-party verification for the Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions amount by the verification registration organization for the 3rd planning period, the fiscal year ended March 2024. Based on the verification guideline of Saitama Prefecture about the emission amount, boundary, measuring point, and evidence of energy use amount were checked, then transparency and reliability of the data can be confirmed.
