The impact of global warming, including extreme weather events, is increasing year by year, and efforts to prevent global warming have become an important challenges for the international community. The Paris Agreement at COP21 calls for limiting the average global temperature increase to less than 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, with the goal of essentially reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities to zero. To this end, we have established an medium- to long-term environmental vision (ECO VISION 2050) based on our "Global Environmental Policy". Recognizing the corporate social responsibility for the environment, we will promote environmentally friendly activities in all of our business activities in order to realize a richer global environment.
Under the corporate philosophy "Dedicated to the Fight against Disease and Pain,” ONO group contributes to the realization of a sustainable and prosperous society by creating innovative medicines and working on solving environmental issues such as climate change.
ONO has established a medium- to long-term environmental challenge vision for 2050, named “Environmental Challenge Ono Vision (ECO VISION 2050)” to realize a sustainable society.
In recent years, the global environmental issues including climate change and other issues have become serious. In the future of 2050, it is expected that people's healthy and sound life will be threatened due to various threats such as water and food shortages, increase of new diseases, devastating natural disasters and so on.
In order to promote the creation of a healthy and sound society through the discovery and development of innovative pharmaceutical products under the corporate philosophy to be "Dedicated to the Fight against Disease and Pain", it is important that we recognize that our business activities are supported by a sound global environment and that we will strengthen our activities toward the resolution of environmental challenge. We believe that such activities are not only our corporate responsibility for the environment, but also lead to build the foundation for sustainable business activities.
We will challenge to reduce the environmental burden in anticipation of 2050 based on the ECO VISION 2050 so that people can welcome a healthy and sound society.
To realize "ECO VISION 2050," we have set 3 priority items: "Realization of a decarbonized society," "Realization of a water recycling society," and "Realization of a resource recycling society," and have set specific medium-to long-term targets for greenhouse gas, water, and resource recycling in 2019. We have also set annual targets.
Our medium- to long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets are classified by the SBTi as the most ambitious "1.5 °C target." For more information, please see here (Environmental Initiatives). As for energy, we will increase the use of renewable energy in line with the RE100 target that we joined in June 2020.
