Teijin introduces internal carbon pricing system

Teijin Group’s ICP system

• Price (applied worldwide): EUR 50 per ton of CO₂ emissions?

• Target: Capital investments impacting CO₂ emissions (increases & decreases)

• Implementation: Calculate ICP costs of expected CO₂ emissions in capital investment plans for use as reference in deciding about such investments.
  

Teijin’s goals for lowering the groupwide environmental impact include reducing CO₂ emissions in fiscal 2030 by 20% compared to the fiscal 2018 level, and then achieving net zero emissions by fiscal 2050. In addition, Teijin is striving to lower CO₂ emissions in its supply chain, specifically to make the amount of avoided emissions by use of its products larger than actual emissions groupwide, including from the group’s upstream supply chain.

Through the launch of this new ICP system, Teijin expects to implement capital investment plans that contribute to its long-term goals for CO₂ emissions reduction and to prepare the company for expected future rises in global carbon prices.

Teijin, under its long-term vision of being a company that supports the society of the future, delivers solutions to help realize a more sustainable society in three key fields: 1) environmental value, 2) safety, security and disaster mitigation, and 3) demographic change and increased health consciousness.
