Supplier briefing and the first study session held

In October 2023, we held a briefing session for suppliers related to SHIONOGI’s business, such as raw material manufacturers and contract manufacturing companies, to explain SHIONOGI’s approach to the environment, CO₂ emissions reduction targets, and efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions. Moreover, in March 2024, we held our first study session for environmental managers of suppliers to share SHIONOGI’s information and expertise on understanding CO₂ emissions (including Scope 3 emissions) in order to encourage the suppliers to set and strengthen CO₂ emission reduction targets and promote reduction measures. This study session was attended by 23 people from nine suppliers, and many of the participants made positive comments, such as, “We would like to start calculating Scope 3 emissions.” We plan to continue this initiative as a way to strengthen environmental management and governance, including among suppliers.
