Carbon neutral initiatives

カーボンニュートラルに対する社会情勢とその要請は急速に進んでおります。当社は、経営理念に掲げた「地球環境にやさしい持続可能な社会の実現」の早期実現にむけ、2050年度にカーボンニュートラルの達成をめざすことを宣言しました。

目標達成に向け、2030年にマイルストーンを設定し中期経営計画「T.RAD-12(2022~2025年)」「T.RAD-13(2026~2029年)」にて様々な施策を推進して参ります。
また、活動を推進する中核部署となる『カーボンニュートラル推進室』を新たに設置しました。

環境に貢献する製品の開発

自動車業界は電動化へ大変革を迎えることが見込まれます。当社もこれまで培ったエンジン車用熱交器の経験と技術を生かし、電気自動車用、燃料電池車用の熱交換器の市場投入を進めております。熱交換器はこれまで以上に重要なコンポーネントと位置づけられており、当社も市場での役割を果たしてまいります。これにより当社の製品も地球環境の改善に繋がる技術の進化に大きく寄与致します。

Information Disclosure Based on the TCFD Framework

Climate change is a key issue impacting our business continuity. In April 2022, we endorsed the TCFD recommendations to help reduce financial marketrisks arising from climate change. By analyzing related risks and opportunities and integrating them into our strategy and risk management, we will disclose progress transparently, contribute to decarbonization, and drive further growth.

※Established in 2015 by the international body, the Financial Stability Board. It recommends assessing business risks and opportunities arising from climate change, understanding their financial impacts, and disclosing related information.

Governance

We view climate change as a key issue for fulfilling our social responsibility and sustaining growth, and manage it through the Sustainability Committee. Chaired by the President and joined by directors, the committee oversees climate-related risks and opportunities, policies, targets, and progress on initiatives as part of our corporate governance system.

Strategy

We analyze climate-related scenarios based on IEA and IPCC data to develop our strategies.
xEV* demand is expected to grow severalfold by 2050. Strengthened fossil-fuel regulations may pose risks to our operations, but appropriate regulations could expand opportunities for our environmentally friendly products.
*xEVs: HEVs, PHEVs, BEVs, and FCEVs

Risk Management

Climate change presents both transition risks—such as regulations, technologies, and market shifts—and physical risks—such as extreme weather and rising temperatures. We evaluate these risks and opportunities by time horizon (long, medium, short) and business/financial impact (large, medium, small) to identify the most material factors.

Metrics and Targets

Under T.RAD-2025, we set CO₂ reduction targets and define KPIs for environmental activities, including climate initiatives, with progress tracked. Our Group aims to cut net CO₂ emissions by 27% by 2030 (vs. 2021) and reach net zero by 2050.
