Environmental Investment

The Chugai Group has set environmental goals to continuously promote environmental protection activities from a medium-to-long-term perspective. We are estimating an amount of environmental investment for facility upgrades and accelerated execution of existing investment plans to achieve the Mid-Term Environmental Goals 2030.

Estimated environmental investment

We estimate a cumulative total of ¥135.9 billion in environmental investment through to 2033 in Research Div., and Pharmaceutical Technology/Manufacturing Technology Div., which have relatively high environmental burdens.

Estimate as of April 2025

Estimated environmental investment 2022 1.3 Billions of yen 2023 1.6 Billions of yen 2024 1.2 Billions of yen 2025 9.1 Billions of yen 2026 18.2 Billions of yen 2027 14.4 Billions of yen 2028 41.4 Billions of yen 2029 27.5 Billions of yen 2030 16.9 Billions of yen 2031 2.2 Billions of yen 2032 1.9 Billions of yen 2033 0.0 Billions of yen 2034 0.0 Billions of yen

Breakdown of environmental investment:

  • Fluorocarbon reduction
  • CO2 reduction
  • Waste and water countermeasures
  • Soil contamination expenses etc.

Internal carbon pricing

For the introduction of sustainable energy, we use the internal carbon pricing (ICP) as one of the investment indicators and we set ICP as “7,700 JPY/t-CO2” based on the purchase prices of green power certificates, non-fossil certificates, and electricity with the environmental added value.
