【Background and Summary】

GMO-PG is working on reducing GHG emissions as an important management issue in order to realize a sustainable society. For Scope 1 and 2, we will continue to achieve carbon neutrality with GHG emissions to effectively zero from the fiscal year ended September 2023 ^(*2). We have also set a target of reducing the GHG emissions per new payment terminal operation by 55% by the fiscal year ending September 2030 compared to the fiscal year ending September 2021. In addition, we have set a long-term target of achieving net zero GHG emissions by the fiscal year ending September 2050 in Scope 1, 2, and 3. These targets have been certified by the SBTi ^(*3) as a “1.5°C target” for the 2030 target and a “net-zero certification” for the 2050 target ^(*4), demonstrating that the short- and long-term reduction targets are consistent with international standards.
In addition, in order to appropriately understand climate-related risks and opportunities, we have been working to analyze the impact of climate change on our business and enhance the disclosure of information on risks and opportunities in support of the TCFD ^(*5)​ ​^{recommendations (*6).} As an infrastructure company that supports payment processing of more than 21 trillion yen ^(*7) per year, we are also contributing to reducing the environmental impact of society as a whole by promoting cashlessness.
In addition to the effectiveness of these emission reductions, the management of Scope 3 emissions including supply chains, and the transparency of climate-related information, we believe that CDP’s emphasis on the evaluation criteria has been internationally recognized for its steady efforts to set science-based reduction targets for 2030 and 2050.
We will continue to work to further reduce GHG emissions through the use of renewable energy and strengthen supplier engagement, promote the spread of cashless payment, digitize billing operations, and strive to reduce the environmental impact associated with our business activities, aiming to transform to a decarbonized society and realize a sustainable society.

About CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project)

CDP is an international non-profit organization that operates a global disclosure system for investors, businesses, countries, regions, and cities to manage their environmental impacts. In the annual assessment process, questionnaires are prepared in three areas: climate change, forests, and water security, and in the area of climate change, companies are evaluated based on their responses to climate change GHG emissions and climate-related risks and opportunities. The evaluation is conducted on four levels: Disclosure, Awareness, Management, and Leadership, and is awarded on eight levels: A, A-, B, B-, C, C-, D, and D-.
