Metrics and Targets

In the Hitachi Group, we manage our efforts with metrics and targets which are defined in the Environmental Action Plan and updated every three years. These are aligned with the Environmental Vision and the long-term environmental targets in the Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050. We also manage other types of metrics and targets which are renewed every three years in this Environmental Action Plan. These metrics measure and manage risks and opportunities associated with climate change while the targets show our goal to pursue.
The targets that the Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050 sets for working toward a decarbonized society are shown below.

Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050

Long-term targets (FY2050) for Hitachi High-Tech Group (the Group) business activities

Net Zero: Decarbonizing the value chain through high-quality products, innovative services, and future businesses

Medium-term targets (FY2030) for the Group business activities

52% greenhouse gas emissions-reduction throughout the value chain (compared to FY2022)^*1

*1 Intensity target based on gross profit for the base year FY2022

Based on the above background, our group will contribute to achieving Hitachi Group targets through the Environmental Action Plan of the Hitachi High-Tech Group, which is managed by the Environmental Committee.
