azbil Group Sustainable Procurement Guidelines

1.Climate change (GHG, energy)

• It is necessary to address energy efficiency and make continuous efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.
• Business partners should strive to utilize renewable energy sources (by purchasing electricity derived from renewable energy sources, bringing in solar power facilities, etc.).
• Setting voluntary targets and formulating plans for reducing the GHGs emitted in manufacturing processes and engaging in continuous reduction activities based upon the plans and targes is necessary.

*To meet with the above social demands, we ask that you make continuous efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption.

Supplementary Explanations

There are various types of greenhouse gases (GHGs), but the term greenhouse gas generally refers to the six groups of substances defined in the Kyoto Protocol, which are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
“Continuous reduction activities” refers to the process of setting voluntary reduction targets for the above six types of greenhouse gases and making and executing plans to achieve them.
At the azbil Group, we are working with our business partners and customers to achieve a carbon-neutral supply chain by 2050 in response to the global environmental challenge of climate change. Our efforts focus on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions to realize carbon neutrality. Alongside various energy conservation initiatives, we are actively promoting the use and application of renewable energy.
As social demand increases, we ask that you make continuous efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption based on these azbil Group initiatives.
