Decarbonization

As we work toward the goal of becoming carbon zero (reducing CO₂ emissions to net zero) by 2040, and becoming carbon negative by 2050, besides aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions in our own business activities, we also aim to contribute toward realizing the decarbonized society by helping to reduce emissions in society as a whole, and through carbon fixation to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
