Asahi Kasei Group policy for carbon neutrality

摘要

Asahi Kasei has adopted a new policy regarding efforts toward the ambition of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. With its Group Mission of contributing to life and living for people around the world, Asahi Kasei recognizes that climate change is a serious global issue impacting the natural environment and society. Even when much of the world's economic and social activity was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions did not decrease greatly, and they began increasing again when economic and social activity resumed. This indicates the difficulty of resolving the issue of climate change, and the need to accelerate relevant efforts.
