Response to Climate Change: Emission Reduction Roadmap, Risks, and
TBS Group Environmental Policy https://www.tbsholdings.co.jp/sustainability/pdf/environmental_policy.pdf
We have identified “delivering wonderful ‘moments’ to all the lives on earth” as its environmental materiality and have been engaged in initiatives addressing climate change. To further advance these initiatives, in April 2025, we established the “TBS Group Environmental Policy,” declaring that we will promote environmental conservation and reduce environmental impact through our business activities, as well as complying with do- mestic and international laws, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
—Obtained third-party verification for Scopes 1 and 2 data in FY2025 In 2024, we announced in the TBS Group Medium-Term Business Plan 2026 that the TBS Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, including its supply chain. We also developed a roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality, targeting zero Scope 2 emissions in FY2026 and zero Scope 1+2 emissions in FY2030. Furthermore, as social interest in the comprehensiveness and accuracy of disclosed data grows, we have obtained third-party verification from KPMG AZSA Sustainability Co., Ltd. for Scopes 1 and 2 data since FY2025.
We expressed support for the TCFD recommendations in November 2021 and published its first TCFD report in August 2022. Since then, we have continued to identify and organize risks and opportunities related to climate change and have been committed to continuous information disclosure.
