Nippon Paper Industries has set several climate commitments. In May 2023, the Group revised its GHG emissions reduction target for FY2030, aiming to reduce combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 54% compared to FY2013 levels. This target was also reported with a reference to FY2014/3. The company also aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, utilising approaches such as CO2 absorption by forests, carbon-free fuels, and Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). Earlier targets included reducing per-unit CO2 emissions from fossil energy consumption per product by 25% for Scope 1 and reducing units of fossil energy per product by 30% for Scope 2, both by 2015 compared to fiscal 1990 levels.
