In the 2023 survey conducted by CDP, Central Glass Co., Ltd. received a B- (B-minus) rating in both the areas of climate change and water security.

The Central Glass Group applied in February 2024 to participate in the GX League of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to help Japan achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. We also announced and began participating in the GX-ETS (Emission Trading Scheme), a voluntary emissions trading scheme in the GX League to begin full operations in FY2026.

Working with the relevant parties to broaden our areas of collaboration is essential to create a circular economy. We joined the industry-government-academia partnership on the circular economy (known as “Circular Partners”) sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in October 2023, aiming to help create a circular economy. We also participate in the discussions to develop a country-wide vision and roadmap in the working group established under Circular Partners. The Central Glass Group will set targets for our circular economy initiatives and establish medium- and long-term efforts to achieve these targets.
