- 2035 milestone: 51% CO2 reduction (FY2018 baseline)
- 2050 milestone: 100% CO2 reduction (FY2018 baseline)
- Packaging:
- 2050 milestone: 100% sustainable material usage
- Paper:
- 2027 milestone: Implement a 95% paperless workspace (FY2017 Baseline)
- Water Consumption:
- Continuous: Work to understand, track, and reduce water withdrawal, discharge, and consumption
By 2050, aiming for a 100% sustainable material usage rate and efficient resource utilization, we will focus on advancing material recycling research. In addition to minimizing risks associated with resources and waste, we will strive to create eco-friendly products using sustainable resources to ensure no environmental impact.
Together, these efforts will drive us towards our shared goal of achieving a net zero environment by 2050.
