DUSKIN Green Target 2030

As a set of targets for environmental management to be reached by FY 2030, the Duskin Group established the "DUSKIN Green Target 2030" with the goal of contributing to the actualization of a recycling and decarbonized society as set forth in our Environmental Policy.

In our quest to actualize a recycling society, we introduced reduction targets for food loss quantity in our Food Business, reduction of fossil-derived plastic used across the entire Group, and improvement of the recycling rate for packaging plastic. Additionally, in our quest to actualize a decarbonized society, we set the renewable energy usage rate to 50% by FY 2030 and increased the CO₂ emission reduction target for Group branches to 46%, compared to 26% in FY 2013. As a company committed to sustainability, we will continue working to balance environmental conservation and corporate management, and contribute to the development of a sustainable society.
