Hioki joined the Partnership among Government, Industry, and Academia for the Circular Economy (“Circular Partners”) in 2024 and subsequently set specific targets related to circular economy initiatives.

 

In pursuit of a sustainable society, Hioki adopted a Basic Sustainability Policy and issued the Hioki Sustainability Declaration, which includes its CO₂ emission reduction goals, in February 2022. The declaration outlines Hioki’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 (its 90th anniversary), and for Scope 3 emissions by 2035 (its 100th anniversary).

 

Through circular economy initiatives, Hioki seeks to contribute to resource conservation and reductions in CO₂ emissions, particularly in support of achieving Scope 3 carbon neutrality.

Circular economy target

Target: Transition 50% of products that currently use plastic to use of recycled plastic.
　　Numerator: Number of product models (enclosures of instruments and other devices) using recycled plastic
　　Denominator: Number of product models (enclosures of instruments and other devices) using plastic
 

Target date: January 1, 2030
 

Conditions:

1. Applies only to major product enclosures that use plastic.

2. Recycled plastic will be produced using scrap material generated during the manufacturing process of plastic parts in Hioki product enclosures.

3. While recycled plastic will also gradually be introduced in all other products, including carrying cases, test leads, plastic bags, and packaging materials, these are not included in the scope of this target.

 

Going forward, Hioki plans to establish a formal policy on circular economy initiatives and further pursue related efforts.
