Achieve carbon neutrality by 2050

As a key sustainability issue, we support the goals of the Paris Agreement and aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Climate change is not only an urgent issue common to all countries, but also one of the most important risks to our business, such as soaring raw material prices and supply chain disruptions caused by large scale natural disasters. We are starting with what we can do, such as switching to LED lighting, which emits less CO2, for store lighting, and installing solar power generation systems at some of our logistics centers.
