Takeda Group Medium-Term Targets

Trend of Takeda Group's CO2 Emissions

The Takeda Group Environmental Action Plan sets the following numerical targets for the Group production and research sites worldwide.

  • Reduce CO2 emissions from energy sources by 18% from fiscal 2005 levels by fiscal 2015

For Takeda, the parent company, the plan's numerical targets are as follows:

  • Reduce CO2 emissions from energy sources by 30% from fiscal 1990 levels by fiscal 2015
  • Reduce CO2 emissions from energy sources by 40% from fiscal 1990 levels by fiscal 2020

Takeda actively publishes the results of its initiatives to deal with climate change in its annual report and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).*

  • * The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) requires companies around the world to publicize their strategies for dealing with climate change and their GHG emissions.

Calculation Method

• CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions refer to direct emissions generated by combustion of fossil fuels and indirect emissions from electricity use.

• CO2 emissions factor
Japanese records are calculated based on the "Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy," and the CO2 emissions factor for calculating purchased electricity is the actual value for each electric power provider in each fiscal year (figures for fiscal 2011 are the actual figures from fiscal 2010). The CO2 emissions factor for calculating electricity purchased outside Japan is based on country-specific factors stipulated in the GHG Protocol. Due to changes in factors, past data has been restated.

26 % reduction
Reduction in the Takeda Group's CO2 emissions from fiscal 2005 level (fiscal 2011)

17 % increase

Main reason for increase: increase in production volume at Hikari Plant

7 % increase
Year-on-year increase in volume of the Takeda Group's final waste disposal in Japan (fiscal 2011)
Main reason for increase: increase related to relocation work to Shonan Research Center
