The company also targets a 33.3% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by FY2031 from a FY2023 base year. For its long-term targets, the company is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions (excluding certain Scope 3 categories) by 90% by FY2049 from a FY2023 base year. Furthermore, it aims for a 72% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by FY2049 from a FY2023 base year.
