2026-05-14
The Toyota Tsusho Group issued its Carbon Neutrality Declaration in July 2021 and announced its Net Zero Declaration--which has acquired SBT
validation--in July 2025. The Group sets ambitious targets of reducing its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% compared to 2019
by 2030 and net zero Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions across the entire value chain by 2050. Joining RE100, it aims to use 100% renewable energy in its
business activities by 2040. It will install solar panels at its factories, introduce renewable energy in Japan and overseas using storage batteries and energy
management systems, and promote the use of renewable energy-derived electricity options and environmental values such as non-fossil fuel certificates.
Japan Climate Leaders' Partnership (JCLP), a coalition of companies seeking to realize a sustainable, decarbonized society, provided support for the joining
of RE100.
The Toyota Tsusho Group will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by joining RE100 and achieving the above reduction targets to fulfill its
mission of "passing on a better Earth to the children of the future."

|---|---|---|---|
| RE100 | 2040 | Electricity consumption | Achieve 100% renewable energy use |
| SBTi Near-term (1.5℃ standard) |
2030 | Scope 1 & 2 | Reduce emissions by 50% compared to 2019 |
| Scope3 | Reduce emissions by 27.5% compared to 2019 | ||
| SBTi Net-zero | 2050 | Scope 1, 2 & 3 | Achieve net zero emissions |
2) Details of Carbon Neutrality Declaration and Net Zero Declaration
| Carbon Neutrality Declaration | Net Zero Declaration | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Base year | 2019 | 2019 | |
| Target | 2030 | Reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% | Reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 50% Reduce Scope 3 emissions by 27.5％ |
| 2050 | Achieve carbon neutrality | Achieve net zero emissions(Note) | |
| Scope | Scope1 | Direct emissions from the use of fuels and so on by the Company | Same as to the left |
| Scope2 | Indirect emissions from the use of electricity and heat purchased by the Company | Same as to the left | |
| Scope3 | ― | Emissions throughout the supply chain from procurement of raw materials for products to manufacture, sale, use, and disposal | |
(Note) The target is to achieve net-zero emissions by reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 95% and Scope 3 emissions by 90% or more compared to 2019
levels and then achieving neutralization of residual emissions that are difficult to reduce through removal from the atmosphere and permanent storage.
