Hioki Receives Third-party Verification Opinion Concerning Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Hioki has received a verification opinion (certificate) following an independent verification of the Group’s 2023 greenhouse gas emissions by SGS Japan Inc. based on the ISO 14064-3:2019 standard. Hioki undertook the verification to better allow it to provide highly reliable and transparent data to stakeholders. Hioki will continue to work towards carbon neutrality based on the results of the verification process.
As part of our “Hioki Sustainability Declaration” goal to achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025, we have purchased non-fossil certificates and credits equivalent to our 2024 emissions, which have been verified and documented in the verification opinion.
