ROHM Revises its Environmental Targets for 2030
ROHM has recently announced the revised version of its medium-term environmental targets for 2030 to achieve a carbon-free society.
At the same time, ROHM has agreed to endorse the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and work on information disclosure in line with these recommendations.
Recognizing that climate change is one of the most important issues affecting our business activities, ROHM has set a goal of achieving zero carbon (virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions) by 2050 in its “Environmental Vision 2050” enacted in April 2021.
Subsequently, in their medium-term management plan “MOVING FORWARD to 2025”, ROHM announced the mid-term environmental targets for the period up to 2030 and have been promoting initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as accelerating the introduction of renewable energy.
As the risks related to climate change become more apparent, ROHM will further raise our greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030 and promote efforts to reduce environmental impact and achieve our “Environmental Vision 2050”.
To realize virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, we revised our greenhouse gas emission reduction target for 2030 from the 30% previous set in 2018 to 50.5%.
ROHM have also submitted a commitment letter to obtain Science Based Targets (SBT) certification (given to greenhouse gas emission targets that comply with the Paris Accords), which they will apply to this target.
ROHM is promoting continuous improvement towards environmental conservation by establishing and operating a group-wide environmental management system in compliance with the ISO14001 international standard.
At the same time, the company has been making efforts to proactively disclose information by publishing annual targets and initiatives based on our environmental policy and vision along with various ESG data on our website.
And going forward, we will carry out scenario analysis under the TCFD recommendations that we have endorsed while focusing on more transparent information disclosure.
ROHM will continue to promote sustainability management in line with our corporate objectives and management vision along with technological innovation in power and analog semiconductors, which are key devices for improving efficiency, while actively engaging in a variety of environmental conservation activities and environmental investments – including not only climate change but also resource recycling and coexistence with nature – under our newly established environmental vision to achieve a sustainable society.
