The CO2 reduction target for FY2023 was set at 1% (102 tons) of the estimated amount of CO2 used in the same year, and we have been actively working to achieve this target. In FY2023, as the actual CO2 reduction was 102 tons, we succeeded in exceeding the entire Group’s CO2 reduction goal, which was 187 tons in total.
