As part of its mid-term environmental goals 2030, Chugai Group has set a target of achieving a 100% renewable energy ratio for electricity usage (sustainable electricity ratio) by 2025 and has been promoting the introduction of renewable energy.

Additionally, Chugai Group is promoting procurement that leads to a reduction in electricity generation from fossil fuels by setting requirements for renewable energy procurement that include bundled^*1 procurement of 90% or more as well as local production and consumption.
