Pigeon Group is promoting energy conservation by installing solar panels, purchasing renewable energy (electricity), making equipment more energy-efficient, and introducing LED lighting in order to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 70% (compared to FY2018) by 2030 and achieve net-zero Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In addition, Pigeon Group has begun calculating its total Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions throughout its supply chain, and aims to reduce Scope 3 Category 1 & 12 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% (compared to FY2021) by 2030.

Global plastic production continues to increase, and much of the Pigeon Group’s product packaging uses plastic as well. In order to achieve a sustainable society, the Pigeon Group will begin watching over products for their whole lifetime by promoting circular monozukuri (manufacturing). By 2030, 50% by weight of the materials used in the Pigeon Group’s packaging will be either plant-derived or recycled. Additionally, by the same year, all of Pigeon’s packaging will be reusable, recyclable, and/or compostable by design.

Pigeon Group is promoting the adoption of forest-certified paper that uses timber from responsibly managed forests as its raw material, as well as recycled paper. The skincare, washing, and cleaning products manufactured and sold by the Pigeon Group include components manufactured from palm oil and palm kernel oil among their raw materials. We will increase the use of RSPO-certified palm oil in the skincare, washing, and cleaning products it manufactures.
