The Asahi Group has set medium and long-term goals with regard to climate change in the form of the Asahi Carbon Zero initiative.
With Asahi Carbon Zero, the Asahi Group aims to achieve zero CO2 emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050, and reduce emissions by 50% for Scopes 1, 2 and by 30% for Scope3 by 2030.
In order to achieve its targets, the Asahi Group will implement a variety of measures for saving energy and preserving the environment, including the proactive use of renewable energy, the recovery and use of waste heat, such as steam from the manufacturing processes, the application of cold energy, including energy gained through the normal-temperature replenishment of rows of cans, the introduction of cogeneration facilities, fuel conversion and activities that practically apply the ISO 14001 standard in all of its business establishments.
Asahi Carbon Zero has obtained approval from the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative. SBT is a global initiative that validates if company-set goals for CO2 reduction are in line with scientific evidence.
In October 2020, we became the first corporate group in the beverage industry in Japan to join RE100. We aim to use renewable electricity in all our operations by 2050 and will further accelerate the introduction of renewable energy in the future.
