Toward Net-Zero CO₂ Emissions

JX Advanced Metals Group considers climate change as an urgent issue that requires to be resolved on a global scale, and is further accelerating its efforts to achieve its ultimate goal of net-zero CO₂ emissions.

JX Advanced Metals Group's Environmental Targets (Long-term Targets)

fiscal 2030 of reducing the Group's CO₂ emissions to 50 percent of fiscal 2018 emissions,(*) net-zero CO₂ emissions by fiscal 2050

These targets are scope 1 and scope 2.

Scope 1 emissions are those from energy consumption (fuel), emissions other than from energy consumption (waste oil, waste plastic, sludge, waste wood), and emissions from reducing agents, converted to equivalent CO₂.
Scope 2 emissions are those from electricity consumption converted to equivalent CO₂. Emissions from electricity consumption include those from thermal energy (consuming steam, hot water, cold water) supplied by third parties.

Measures to achieve the targets

We take a variety of measures to achieve the targets.

Adoption of CO₂-free electric power
Creation of renewable energy
Reduction of energy consumption
Fuel switching and fundamental process development
