Guided by our Management Markers—“Through our corporate activities we protect our planet’s ecosystem and the health of its inhabitants”—we recognize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as one of our key issues and are promoting initiatives toward carbon neutrality by 2050. In September 2025, our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 2030 were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)*1, an international initiative, as being based on scientific evidence in line with the Paris Agreement. We will continue to promote measures to achieve our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets across the entire supply chain so that we can remain an indispensable company in society.
Our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets validated by the SBTi
Scope 1 and Scope 2: Reduce emissions by 42% by 2030 compared with the 2023 level*2
Scope 3:
- Category 11: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of sold products by 25% by 2030 compared with the 2023 level
- Category 1: Encourage suppliers accounting for 10% of our emissions, on an emissions basis, to set science-based targets by 2029
*2 Following SBTi validation, we revised our 2030 target from “30% reduction compared with the 2018 level” to “42% reduction compared with the 2023 level.”
Introduction of renewable energy
The Company works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using more renewable energy. The introduction of solar power generation systems has progressed at the Headquarters and at almost all production bases, and in 2025, installation expanded in China and Vietnam. In addition, in recent years we have also been purchasing renewable energy certificates. In 2025, the ratio of renewable energy to total electricity consumption reached 25%. At the Headquarters, we switched to an electricity plan derived from renewable energy in April 2024, and together with electricity generated by our solar power generation system, we achieved effectively 100% renewable energy* for the electricity used at Headquarters. We will continue to introduce renewable energy in a planned manner
*Real renewable energy: Purchasing FIT non-fossil certificates and use of solar power from our rooftops
Continuing energy conservation efforts
After experiencing the power shortage during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the Headquarters of Mabuchi Motor has been eliminating unnecessary use of lights in the Headquarters building. But given the recent progress in energy efficient lighting technologies, we are shifting to energy conservation measures using LED lights.
Endorsement of the "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) Recommendations"
In March 2021, Mabuchi has announced its support for the recommendations of the "Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)". We are pleased to inform you that we have participated in the "TCFD Consortium". Under our Management Principle, "Contribution to the International Community and its Continuous Expansion," we have established the Sustainability Policy to achieve sustainable development and have established Sustainability Committee to implement actions in line with the policy. In the future, based on the TCFD recommendations, we will analyze the risks and opportunities that climate poses to our business, and by proactively disclosing information, we will build strong and long-term relationships of trust with all of our stakeholders, including customers, business partners, and employees, and contribute to the realization of the sustainable society.
