Sustainability
Environment
We are passionate about addressing environmental issues such as global warming and climate change and working to build a sustainable future. By addressing climate change and decarbonizing, we are not only reducing our environmental impact, but also taking a step towards building a circular economy as a new initiative.
Materiality and Goals for 2026
Addressing climate change and decarbonization
Medium- to long-term challenges/goals
- Reduce CO2 emissions during the manufacturing stage in Scope 1 and 2. Reduce emissions by 46% by 2030 compared to 2013, contributing to a carbon-neutral society.
- Promoting reduction of Scope 3 CO2 emissions.
- * Scope 1: CO2 emissions directly emitted by a company, such as from its own factories
- Scope 2: Electricity and other supplies are supplied by other companies,
CO2 emitted from energy consumed within the company - Scope 3: Occurring in the value chain, such as logistics and sales
CO emissions related to business activities other than our own 2
2026 Initiative Goals
- Confirmation of Scope 1 and 2 performance trends for 2026
- Disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 actual values for 2025
- Consider and plan specific measures to achieve Scope 1 and 2 targets by 2050
- Calculation of Scope 3 (domestic) actual values for 2025
Building a circular economy
Medium- to long-term challenges/goals
- Promoting research and development in chemical recycling
- Expanding products made with sustainable ingredients
- Biomass Mark Certification
- Achieve 100% recycling of urethane cutting waste by 2027
2026 Initiative Goals
- Promoting the development of chemical recycling technologies in collaboration with external partners
- Further exploration and evaluation of sustainable raw materials
- Obtaining biomass mark certification in 2026
- Continued promotion of resource utilization improvement activities
Introducing the creation of a circular economy
Archem 's goal
Circular Economy
In addition to material recycling, which involves collecting and reusing the mechanically decomposed polyurethane foam, we are also taking on the challenge of chemical recycling, which involves chemically decomposing the foam and reusing it as a raw material for chemical products, with the aim of becoming a leader in the industry for a sustainable environmental society.
