Preventing global warming

The TOTO Group recognizes the impact of climate change as a business risk, and works to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas based on the scientific grounds that are consistent with the Paris Agreement toward the realization of a carbon-neutral and sustainable society. On average, our products are used over a 20-year period, and if we look at this from the perspective of the entire life cycle this means the period of product use accounts for over 90% of our overall CO₂ emissions. By actively working to reduce emissions in this stage of the life cycle, we aim to realize both comfortable and eco-friendly everyday lifestyles.

In regard to CO₂ emissions from our business activities, we are promoting CO₂ reduction plans that take into account analyses of climate change by 2050 and our long-term business growth by 2030. Under these plans, we are actively introducing renewable energy sources on a Groupwide basis.

We agree with the international initiatives toward the realization of a carbon-neutral and sustainable society.
