Environmental Plan 2025
Every few years, Mitsubishi Electric formulates a new environmental plan for measures and targets under the company’s Environmental Vision. Environmental Plan 2025 follows Environmental Plan 2023, which covered a three-fiscal-year period ending March 2024. To achieve the company’s net-zero target at factories and offices by March 31, 2031, Environmental Plan 2025 sets interim targets for the period ending March 31, 2026. In addition, it specifies simplified calculations for LC-CO₂ emissions contributing to carbon neutrality and the circular economy as well as nature-positive targets contributing to the Japanese government’s “30by30” initiative.
