Achieving a Decarbonized Society

Basic Approach

Viewing the coexistence of our business activities with the global environment to be one of our highest priorities, we are promoting initiatives aimed at achieving a sustainable society. We position “harmony with the global environment” at the core of our management philosophy, and are committed to reducing environmental impact in every aspect of our business activities.

Achieve Carbon Neutrality

The JUKI Group has declared its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, using CO2 emissions as an indicator to address climate change and other global environmental issues. To achieve this goal, the JUKI Group has set a medium-term target to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2emissions (direct emissions from the company and indirect emissions from energy used by the company) by 50% by fiscal 2030 compared with fiscal 2013 levels. In addition, the Group has set a medium-term target to reduce Scope 3 CO2emissions, which are generated across the entire value chain, including raw material procurement, logistics, and the use of sold products, by 25% by fiscal 2030 compared with fiscal 2022 levels. The JUKI Group will work toward these targets by promoting energy-saving activities throughout its operations, advancing the decarburization of production facilities in cooperation with suppliers, and expanding the use of renewable energy, energy storage systems, and carbon-free electricity.

CO2 Emissions and Progress Against Reduction Targets

In fiscal 2022, the JUKI Group began calculating its Scope 3 CO2 emissions, which arise across the value chain, including raw material procurement, logistics, and the use of products sold.Scope 3 emissions account for more than 90% of the JUKI Group's total CO2 emissions (the combined total of Scopes 1, 2, and 3), with Category 11 (Use of Sold Products) representing the largest share.In fiscal 2025, the Group's Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions were reduced by 41% compared with fiscal 2013, achieving 82% progress toward its fiscal 2030 target.Scope 3 CO2 emissions were reduced by 50% compared with fiscal 2022 through the development and supply of products with enhanced environmental performance. This result has already exceeded the fiscal 2030 target of a 25% reduction.

Disclosure of information based on the TCFD recommendations

The JUKI Group has made a commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 by increasing its efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in product development, production, and business activities to the greatest possible extent. In July 2022, the Group endorsed the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and announced its participation in the TCFD Consortium, a group of companies that support the TCFD recommendations.
As a TCFD member committed to carbon neutrality, the JUKI Group has analyzed the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to its business. We will reflect this analysis in our management and business strategies, practice thorough information disclosure, and strengthen our efforts to achieve carbon neutrality.

Climate-related risks and opportunities (scenario analysis)

Assuming that climate change-related risks and opportunities may affect the JUKI Group’s business now and in the future, we have identified risks (*8) and opportunities (*9) that may affect our business operations under two climate-related scenarios, the 1.5℃ scenario (*6) and 4℃ scenario (*7).
Based on the results of our scenario analysis, we have identified the following risks and opportunities that may affect the JUKI Group’s business in relation to climate change, along with countermeasures to address impacts on our businesses.

  • *6
    Rapid social change toward carbon neutrality by 2050 will limit the global average temperature increase at the end of the 21st century to 1.5℃.
    • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Report SSP1-1.9 (Common Social Pathway SSP1 / Representative Concentration Pathway RCP1.9)
    • RCP2.6 (though the RCP2.6 scenarios are similar to the less-than-2℃ scenarios, they are referenced in part to supplement the data.)
    • International Energy Agency (IEANetZero by 2050)
  • *7
    The global average temperature increase at the end of the 21st century will exceed 4℃ due to a lack of progress in social change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
    • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Report SSP5-8.5 (Common Social Pathway SSP5 / Representative Concentration Pathway RCP8.5)
  • *8
    Two types of risk are identified in the context of the JUKI Group’s business: transition risks (policy and regulatory, technological, market, and reputational) and physical risks (acute and chronic).
  • *9
    Based on transition and physical risks, “risks and opportunities” are identified in the context of the JUKI Group’s business in terms of resource efficiency, energy sources, products/services, markets, and resilience.

Risk Management

In order to appropriately address all of the JUKI Group risks, we operate a risk management system built around a Management Strategy Council that deals with strategic risks, a Crisis Measures Headquarters that deals with business continuity, and a Risk Management Conference consisting of executive officers and the head of JUKI’s business units and group companies.
We conduct annual policy reviews and quarterly risk assessments and monitoring to respond to the ever-changing risk environment. The Board of Directors reports and discusses the details of our responses to risks on every scale, from minor to major, to ensure continuous improvement.
