What We Aim to Achieve
To leave a rich earth for the future of babies born tomorrow, we are implementing the Pigeon Green Action Plan, which includes objectives for decarbonization, a circular society, and coexistence with nature
Individual Issues
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 is on the rise, and many of the product packages sold by the Pigeon Group also utilize plastic. We are committed to promoting circular manufacturing—going beyond mere product creation—to help realize a sustainable society.
Some of the raw materials used in the skincare, laundry, and cleaning/disinfection products manufactured and sold by the Pigeon Group contain ingredients derived from oil palm (palm oil and palm kernel oil). We promote the use of RSPO-certified palm oil in these product categories. Additionally, we promote the use of certified pulp, recycled paper, and paper certified as originating from responsibly managed forests.
