SHIONOGI Group EHS Action Targets (Environment) (2020–2024/2030/2050)

Based on the SHIONOGI Group EHS Policy and the SHINOGI Group EHS Code of Conduct, we have set the SHIONOGI Group EHS Action Targets (single year and medium- to long-term) regarding “AMR,” “climate change,” “resource conservation and circulation,” and “water,” which have been identified as Environmental Materiality, to proceed with initiatives. For other items, the SHIONOGI Group and each operating site/Group company have set single-year targets and have promoted activities to achieve these targets.

Scope:

SHIONOGI Group companies in Japan (Global SHIONOGI Group for [GHG (CO2) emissions reduction] and [Water risk mitigation])

Since FY2022, global targets have been set for [Waste and plastics] and [Water consumption reduction].
