Environment

Based on the principle of “Establishment of Friendly Environment for People and Our Planet” set forth in the CSR Charter and Code of Conduct, we have established the Environmental Policy and are advancing related initiatives. W e strive to contribute to decarbonization and the realization of sustainable development based on a sound material cycle and harmony with nature. To this end, we have set targets for reducing environmental impact through our business activities in Sustainable Value 2026, our sustainability medium-term plan, and are implementing a variety of initiatives to meet them.

Environmental Policy
Sustainability medium-term plan

We comprehensively manage environmental risks and opportunities, such as climate change, stricter environmental regulations around the world, and growing needs for products with low environmental impact. Specific efforts toward this include certification and management under ISO 14001 for the environment and ISO 50001 for energy. Specifically, the Group EHS Committee and its subcommittees share environmental issues and problems and make continuous improvements to resolve them, while the CSR Committee reviews progress. The Group Risk Management Committee manages risks, including environmental risks, and advances initiatives on a group-wide basis.

We have set reduction targets for GHG emissions from our business activities and GHG emissions from the use of products sold , and are working to reduce GHG emissions, including those in our supply chain.

In December 2021, SCREEN declared its support for the recommendations published by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We actively promote information disclosure in accordance with TCFD recommendations and will continue further promoting initiatives to address climate change with an eye to realizing carbon neutrality by 2050.

In order to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities, we are pursuing initiatives that will reduce the intensity of annual water withdrawal (tap water, industrial water, etc.) at Group business sites. And aiming to Improve Recycling Rates , our efforts focus on effectively using materials, minimizing waste, and recycling waste into materials.

To satisfy environmental legislation requirements in different countries, we quickly share regular updates through the Product EHS subcommittee and closely support to maintain full compliance with environmental regulations for products.
We are also working to reduce environmental risks by managing　appropriately chemicals, and managing exhaust / waste liquid manage by voluntary standards that are stricter than legal standards.

We are focused on expanding sales of products that are certified as “Green Products” and “Super Green Products” according to SCREEN’s independent evaluation standards, thus offering such a high level of environmental performance.

We in the SCREEN Group are aware that various aspects of people’s daily lives, including food, healthcare, and water supply, are supported by ecosystem services enabled by biodiversity. We value protecting biodiversity to create a sustainable society that develops in harmony with nature.
