Since the launch of the EIZO brand, the EIZO Group has been consistently working on cutting-edge environmental measures. In addition to pursuing the energy-saving performance of its products, the EIZO Group is working to counteract climate change by setting GHG^*1 emission reduction targets for all of its business activities.
In terms of GHG reduction, we have set an ambitious 1.5°C level of GHG emission reduction targets based on Science Based Targets (SBT), which are scientifically consistent with the targets set by the Paris Agreement, as a benchmark for managing the risks and opportunities of climate change. The target was set at the ambitious 1.5°C level of the Science Based Targets (SBT) standard. We also submitted this target to the SBT Initiative (SBTi)^*2, an organization that accredits SBTs, and received SBT accreditation on July 1, 2022.

1. *1 GHG（Greenhouse Gas）:Kyoto Protocol defines seven types of greenhouse gases to be reduced: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), dinitrogen monoxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) in the second commitment period starting in 2013.
2. *2 SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative): An international partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It encourages companies to set science-based GHG reduction targets and reviews and validates those targets from an objective standpoint.
