Fundamental Approach and Targets

Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2050

The Daihatsu Group sees environmental initiatives as a management strategy essential for maintaining corporate continuity. Accordingly, we are working toward achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, as announced by the Japanese government, with a focus on measures for reducing CO₂ emissions in all areas including products, production, and logistics and on building a low-carbon society.
To achieve product carbon neutrality, Daihatsu will electrify vehicles sold in Japan at the best time to do so and make additional efforts to reduce CO₂ associated with materials and parts, as well as CO₂ emitted during fuel manufacturing. With the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, we will also promote research and development of technologies to reduce CO₂ emissions when manufacturing materials, parts, and fuel.
With regard to production, we have set a target of achieving carbon neutrality in production by 2035 and are working to reduce CO₂ emissions with a focus on three areas: extensive energy saving by pursuing SSC (simple, slim, and compact), development and incorporation of innovative technologies, and utilization of renewable energy. We will also take action in non-production and logistics areas with a target of reducing CO₂ emissions in production, non-production, and logistics by 68% compared to 2019 levels by 2035.
