The Group's target (KPI)
FY2030: 20% improvement in hazardous chemical substance emissions per sales unit (compared with FY2018)
We are working to reduce hazardous chemical substance emissions through ongoing efforts to prevent leaks and transition to processes that create fewer emissions. In FY2024, due to those efforts in the carbon fibers and resin and plastic processing businesses, our hazardous chemical substance emissions were 435 tons
, and emissions per sales unit was 51.7kg/100 million yen
.
Trends in hazardous chemical substance emissions and emissions per sales unit

- *Teijin Automotive Technologies NA Holdings Corp. (hereinafter, "TAT-NA"), a consolidated subsidiary in the materials segment that operates the automotive composites business in North America, has been excluded from the scope of aggregation from FY2024 due to it being a discontinued operation. Past figures include TAT-NA, while figures for FY2024 exclude TAT-NA. The figures in parentheses are reference values that include TAT-NA and are not subject to third-party assurance.
