Azbil Updates Its SBTi-Validated GHG Emissions Reduction Targets
– Raising the FY2030 Reduction Target to 60% –
TOKYO, April 13, 2026: Azbil Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange code:6845) announces that it has updated its near-term target for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its business activities (scope 1+2)*1 and has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)*2.
Since 2020, Azbil has been working toward realizing carbon neutrality under its 2050 Long-Term Vision for Reducing GHG Emissions, which aims to reduce GHG emissions from its business activities (scope 1+2) to substantially zero by 2050.
This time, Azbil has reviewed and strengthened its FY2030 near-term target for its business activities (scope 1+2), raising the reduction target from 55% (compared to theFY2017 levels) to 60%. In addition, Azbil has expanded the target boundary to cover Azbil Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. This updated target satisfies the SBTi criteria and has received validation as an “update of near-term science-based targets.”
This update reflects that our initiatives are progressing ahead of plan, taking into account that we achieved our previous FY2030 target of a 55% reduction ahead of schedule in FY2024. Going forward, under our decarbonization transition plan, we will further strengthen efforts to reduce GHG emissions from our business activities by leveraging the energy-saving technologies we have developed through our business, and by proactively using and harnessing renewable energy.
Guided by the Group philosophy of “human-centered automation,” we will continue our sincere efforts to find solutions to the issues facing humanity, such as global warming and climate change, and to realize a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.

*1
Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions from the business itself (fuel combustion, industrial processes)
Scope 2: Indirect emissions related to the use of electricity, heat, and steam supplied by other companies
Scope 3: Emissions from other companies associated with the business’s activities (indirect emissions other than those covered by scopes 1 and 2)
*2 SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative):
An international collaborative organization jointly established in 2015 by CDP (an organization of institutional investors that promotes the disclosure of information on climate-change measures), the World Resources Institute (WRI), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and the UN Global Compact (UNGC). The SBTi framework aims to achieve science-based targets (SBTs) for reducing GHG emissions aligned with limiting the increase in global-average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C.
*3 Residual emissions: GHG emissions within the azbil Group value chain that cannot be fully eliminated.
