Hioki Sustainability Declaration
We will continue efforts to decarbonize our business based on the following targets:
- Achieve carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025
(90th anniversary of founding)
- Achieve Scope 3 carbon neutrality by 2035)
(100th anniversary)
- NoteThe policy for Scope 3 emissions is to achieve the 2035 target without resorting to carbon emissions trading to the extent possible.
- NoteScope 1: Direct emissions of greenhouse gases by businesses themselves (fuel combustion, industrial processes).
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the use of electricity, heat and steam supplied by other companies.
Scope 3: Indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and Scope 2 (emissions of other companies related to the company's activities).

Environmental structures in our integrated management system
To better integrate our environmental initiatives with our business activities, we moved ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification to our integrated management system in 2016. We’ve created committees to address energy, waste, and chemical substances, all of which demand specialized knowledge, and we carry out related activities on a companywide basis.
