Sekisui House has established several climate commitments and reduction targets. The company has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2050. Their near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by FY2030 from a FY2023 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 27% within the same timeframe. These targets are consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C. For long-term goals, Sekisui House aims for a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2050 from a FY2023 base year.

As an RE100 member, Sekisui House plans to convert its business operations to 50% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2040. An earlier SBTi commitment from 2013 aimed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by FY2030 from a FY2013 base year, and Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 55% by FY2030 from a FY2013 base year, which was approved as in line with a 1.5°C trajectory. They have also committed that 65.8% of their suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services will have science-based targets by FY2027.
