Information Disclosure Based on TNFD Recommendations: 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. Additionally, regarding metrics and targets on climate-related and nature-related risks and opportunities, we measure and manage through our Environmental Action Plan, which is updated every three years.
The targets that the Hitachi Environmental Innovation 2050 sets for working toward contribution through products and services and for harmonizing with nature are shown below.
