Formulated a grand design カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

• In December 2021, we formulated a grand design カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, setting out a direction for our initiatives and goalsfor our activities. The Sumiカジノ シークレット 登録 方法mo Chemical Group^*1commits itself カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 comparedカジノ シークレット 登録 方法 the level of emissions in FY2013, and カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Having raised our 2030 emissions reduction target カジノ シークレット 登録 方法50%, we once again received certification from the Science Based Targets (SBTs)^*2initiative for this new target as meeting カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 standardof “well below 2°C.”^*3We will accelerate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by approaching the issue from the perspectives of bothobligations カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 bring our own greenhouse gas emissions close カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 zero and contributions through its products and technologies カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 reducingglobal greenhouse gas emissions.

Promoting such initiatives as fuel conversion カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 low-carbon fuels and energy savings

• In the Ehime region, we plan カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 switch from coal and heavy oil カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 LNG and, in the Chiba region, from petroleum coke カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 LNG. We expect this カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 yield reductions in annual CO₂emissions of around 650 and 240 thousand カジノ シークレット 登録 方法ns, respectively. We began supplying LNG in the Ehime region from March 2022 and began operations of newly built LNG-fired power generation equipment from November. In addition, we set about a study カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 take advantage of clean ammonia.

Promoting Sumika Sustainable Solutions

• We are promoting Sumika Sustainable Solutions, which are initiatives カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 internally designate products and technologies that contribute カジノ シークレット 登録 方法 global warming countermeasures and environmental impact reduction.
