Chugai Supports the Japan Climate Initiative’s message

Chugai announced its support as a member company of the Japan Climate Initiative (JCI) for JCI’s statement “Overcoming Two Crises with Renewable Energy and Carbon Pricing” It urges the Japanese government to reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as coal and overcome the two crises by accelerating the deployment of renewable energy and introducing effective carbon pricing as soon as possible. We will also take the lead in taking action.

The Chugai Group considers climate change to be an important issue for global environmental protection and is working to reduce its CO₂ emissions to zero by 2050. With the completion of the new Chugai Life Science Park Yokohama and the consolidation of its research laboratories, promotion of reduced and more efficient use of energy, and a shift to the use of sustainable electricity, Chugai aims to bring its use of sustainable electricity to 100% by 2025. Because this will also require a reduction in direct CO₂ emissions (Scope 1) from fuel consumption, Chugai is also considering the conversion of existing facilities, facility consolidation/elimination and redesigns.
