Vision Towards Realization of Carbon Neutrality by 2050
Japan Sanitary Equipment Industry Association has been contributing to the betterment of living culture for people all over the world through sustainable development.
Going forward, we will continue our efforts in realizing a sustainable society by providing a safe, simple to use, and environmentally friendly restroom space.
● Details about CO₂ Emission Reduction Activities and Vision Setting So Far,
Our industry was the first to complete the fuel conversion for firing kilns, which consume the largest amount of energy. Additionally, we have set reduction targets for 2020 and 2030 in our Low Carbon Society Achievement Plan, and have been working to reduce emissions from our domestic business activities.
In the future, in order to contribute to the "realization of a Carbon Neutral Society by 2050" announced by the government, we will strive to further reduce CO₂ emissions under Keidanren's Carbon Neutrality Action Plan.
[First Pillar](Reduce Emissions from Domestic Business Activities)
Based on Keidanren's Carbon Neutrality Action Plan, targets have been set for 2030 to strive to reduce emissions from domestic business activities and contribute to the global warming countermeasure plan set by the Japanese government.
[Second Pillar](Strengthening Cooperation with other interested groups)
With the proliferation of water-saving toilets and energy-saving spray seat, households, businesses and other sectors, etc. will contribute to the reduction of CO₂ during use.
[Third Pillar](Promotion of International Contribution)
The proliferation of using water-saving toilets will contribute to the reduction of CO₂ during use overseas.
[Fourth Pillar](Development of Innovative Technologies Toward Carbon Neutrality by 2050)
Innovative technologies for carbon neutrality, which are being studied in other industries, will be applied to the production and business activities of sanitary ware of each member company, with the aim of practical application.
