The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, aligning with the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C. To meet this long-term objective, YKK has set near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.4% by fiscal year 2030, using a fiscal year 2018 baseline.

Some sources indicate a 50% reduction target for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2018 baseline, and a 30% reduction for Scope 3 emissions over the same period. A long-term target of a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2050 from a FY2018 base year is also stated, along with a 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe.
