Targets and results | Environment | Sustainability

We have established three major themes and are working on environmental activities by setting targets at each site.
We are working toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 to contribute to the early resolution of societal issues.

Results in fiscal 2025 and targets for fiscal 2026

Results in fiscal 2025 We achieved our target in 39 out of 40 categories.

The Environment Promotion Department holds an Energy Conservation and Environment Conference every three months to promote energy conservation and environmental activities throughout the Company. Specific initiatives have included converting to 100% power generated from renewable energy sources, upgrading to energy-saving, high-efficiency air conditioners, and creating visualization for power consumption for use in planning decisions, and installing equipment to improve heat exchange efficiency.
In fiscal 2026, the Energy Conservation and Environment Conference was renamed the Decarbonization Conference, and we will further strengthen our efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2040 while fine-tuning the topics of discussion.

In fiscal 2025, we actively implemented various energy and resource conservation initiatives, as well as specific measures aimed at reducing waste and increasing recycling.

Environmental measures related to ISO 14001 in fiscal 2025 were focused on conserving energy and resources in our business activities, using our businesses to make a positive contribution to the environment, and mitigating climate change, with specific targets set for each operating site. As a result, we achieved 39 targets, with only one target under Conserving energy and resources in our business activities not reached.

Targets for fiscal 2026 We are focusing on conserving energy and resources in our business activities, using our businesses to make a positive contribution to the environment, and mitigating climate change.

As a TOCALO group continues to aim for reducing greenhouse gas emissions —not only by reducing power consumption through improved production efficiency, but also by further promoting on-site consumption of solar power generation and purchasing electricity generated from renewable energy sources. As stated in our Medium-term management plan “TOCALO2030”, TOCALO has set a new goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040. To reduce our environmental impact, we will engage in the following initiatives: “Measuring and implementing reductions in GHG emissions”, “Introducing energy-saving, energy-creating, and resource-saving equipment”, Thoroughly reducing waste and promoting recycling”, and “Environmentally conscious activities throughout the supply chain”.

In fiscal 2025, we introduced high-efficiency equipment on a large scale at our production bases in Japan and overseas. Moving forward, we will continue making step-by-step progress toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2040.

The major themes related to ISO 14001 in fiscal 2026 will focus on (1) Conserving energy and resources in our business activities, (2) environmental contribution through the promotion of business activities, (3) climate change measures, and (4) water environment preservation, with all operating sites setting goals and conducting activities aligned in the same direction.
