SECOM Group Acquires "SBT" Certification and Joins "RE100"
~ Aiming for 100% Renewable Energy Usage by 2045 ~

SECOM Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; President: Ichiro Ozeki) has obtained the "SBT" (Science Based Targets) certification from the international climate change initiative "SBTi" (Science Based Targets initiative) for the greenhouse gas reduction goals set by the SECOM Group in May 2021.

Furthermore, aiming to convert 100% of the electricity used in business activities to renewable energy sources by 2045, the Group has joined the international environmental initiative "RE100" (Renewable Electricity 100%).

SECOM Group has established new greenhouse gas reduction targets, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality (Scope 1+2) by 2045 and reducing emissions by 45% by fiscal 2030 (compared to fiscal year 2018).

Recognizing the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain, the Group is aiming for carbon neutrality (Scope 3) by 2050 and a 40% reduction by 2030 compared to fiscal year 2018.

The international climate change initiative SBTi has recognized the SECOM Group's greenhouse gas reduction targets as reasonable efforts to control global temperature rise and has granted the SBT certification to the Group. Additionally, SECOM has joined RE100 to accelerate efforts towards 100% renewable energy usage.

SECOM will continue to work in collaboration with stakeholders such as business partners to realize a decarbonized society.

Certified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets by SBTi:

Long-term Reduction Targets:
Scope 1+2: Aim for zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045
Scope 3: Aim for zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050

Medium-term Reduction Targets:
Scope 1+2: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by fiscal 2030 (fiscal 2018 baseline)
Scope 3: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by fiscal 2030 (fiscal 2018 baseline)

Renewable Energy Adoption Goal Declared to RE100:

Aim for 100% renewable energy by 2045

■ SBT (Science Based Targets):
The international climate change initiative SBTi was established by international environmental NGOs such as CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), UNGC (United Nations Global Compact), WRI (World Resources Institute), and WWF (World Wildlife Fund). It validates and certifies that a company's greenhouse gas reduction goals comply with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement, such as "keeping global temperature rise below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels," and are scientifically sound.

■ RE100 (Renewable Electricity 100%):
An environmental initiative run by the international environmental NGO, the Climate Group, in partnership with CDP. Enterprises which aim to convert 100% of the electricity used in business activities to renewable energy sources join RE100.

■ Scopes 1, 2, 3:
Scope 1: Direct greenhouse gas emissions from fuel use within the company.
Scope 2: Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the use of purchased electricity and heat.
Scope 3: Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the entire supply chain of the company (excluding Scopes 1 and 2).
