(1) Reduce CO₂ emissions from production activities Improve CO₂ emissions basic-unit from energy use by 1.8% compared with the previous FY
  • Introduction of market-based CO₂ emission factor
  • Reduce CO₂ emissions by equivalent to 2.0% of the previous FY by energy-saving activities at each manufacturing site
1, 2 Improve CO₂ emissions basic-unit 30% Improve CO₂ emissions basic-unit in a lifecycle perspective 50%
(1)-a Efficient use of energy Improve energy consumption basic-unit by 1.0% of the previous FY
  • Reduce energy consumption by equivalent to 2.0% of the previous FY by energy-saving activities at each manufacturing site
  • Utilize an energy summary table for visualization and priority setting, identify the areas of significant energy use, based on energy use and consumption in production
(1)-b Expand renewable energy usage Formulate mid & long-term renewable energy introduction /purchase and goals/plans
  • Research of renewable energy purchasing sources
  • Formulate targets and plans of renewable energy introduction / purchase by country/area bases
(2) Reduce incoming water Improve water (= incoming water) basic unit 1.5% of the previous FY
  • Improve water usage basic-unit by 1.5% of the previous FY at each manufacturing site
  • Improve the recycling ratio of water
3 Create reduction activities equivalent to 30% improvement of CO₂ emissions
(3) Efficient use of resources Improve waste amount basic-unit 1.5% of the previous FY
  • Improve waste amount basic-unit by 1.5% of the previous FY at each manufacturing site
  • Improve material yield
  • Promote recycling and reuse
  • Pursuit "zero-defect"
(4) Reduce CO₂ emissions from a life cycle perspective Promote reduction of environmental load through each category activity of Scope3
  • Promote the use of low environmental load materials
  • Improve CO₂ emission basic-unit in logistics by 1.0% from the previous year (Japan).
(5) Expand environmental contribution of products Improve CO₂ reduction contributions basic-unit by 2.7% compared with the previous FY Increase products for CO₂ reduction contribution calculation
(6) Expand renewable energy business Develop and expand sales of products for the renewable energy market Create products for the renewable energy market
(7) Reduce risks of chemicals use Reduce influence of chemicals to the human and environment Promote the substitution and reduce usage of hazardous chemicals
(8) Contribute to environmental society Preserve the environment and biodiversity
  • Promote forest conservation activity
  • Promote environmental education and awareness
TDK Health and Safety Activity
Take actions to achieve "Zero labor accident", our ultimate goal
SDGs8
Activity for health and safety Achieve "ZERO significant labor accident *2 "
  • Mitigate the significant safety risks
  • Promote the safety patrol by site top manager thoroughly

*1 Scope No.: based on GHG Protocol
*2 Significant labor accident: an accident with remaining disability, required long-term nursing, or fatality
