The Roland Corporation has announced the adoption of bold carbon reduction targets as part of its move towards a decarbonised society.
In alignment with the international Paris Agreement treaty on climate change, Roland aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its operations and value chain, paving the way for ‘a sustainable future that supports creativity, music, and artistic expression’.
Reduction targets are set in line with the concept of SBT (Science Based Targets – Corporate greenhouse gas emission reduction targets consistent with the levels required by the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015) with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality as declared in the Paris Agreement in mind.
Among these, Scope 1 and Scope 2 propose reduction of CO2 emissions by 42 per cent in FY2030 compared to FY2022, while Scope 3 identifies a 25 per cent reduction from FY2022 levels in FY2030 for Categories 1, 4, 11 and 12, which account for more than 90 per cent of total CO2 emissions, respectively
Roland’s efforts are disclosed in line with TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations. Current progress and results reported by the Coropration include total CO2 emissions in FY2023 reduced by 12 per cent from the previous year.
‘Roland is dedicated to transparency in its ESG initiatives,’ the company states. ‘Comprehensive ESG data is publicly available, showcasing Roland’s progress and commitment. Roland has also disclosed data on the content of its environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) initiatives.’
