- Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions
- Reducing scope 3 CO₂ emissions
ASICS' targets and initiatives
Targets
- CO₂ emission reduction rate in direct operations (2015 baseline): 63% by 2030.
- CO₂ emission reduction rate in the supply chain (2015 baseline): 63% by 2030.
- Percentage of electricity from renewable sources in direct operations: 100% by 2030.
- Increase our sourcing of certified sustainable cotton toward 2025.
Action plan onward
- Continue to expand the use of electricity from renewable sources focusing on the facilities with higher emissions.
- Expand CO₂ labelling items/categories, reflect the learnings from GEL-LYTE™ III CM1.95.
- Expand renewable energy sourcing in Tier 1 strategic footwear suppliers.
- Source 100% more sustainable cotton for apparel and accessories by 2025.
Our net-zero 2050 target
We support ongoing global efforts to limit average temperature increases to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels and aim for a collective net-zero world by 2050.
Managing the environmental impacts of manufacturing
Supply chain manufacturing accounts for more than 65% of our overall environmental impacts. For apparel, the impacts are associated with manufacturing processes, and washing while the products are in use. We are committed to using our influence within our supply chain to reduce these impacts.
Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions
We have set targets for emission reduction in line with climate science and in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We were the first sporting goods company to have the targets approved by SBTi. We work to reduce our emissions within both the direct scope of our own operations and the wider indirect scope.。
Reducing scope 3 CO₂ emissions
We measure our scope 3 CO₂ emissions across our global operations to assess the impact of changes in our business operations. Our target is to reduce our indirect (scope 3) CO₂ emissions from purchased goods, services and end-of-life treatment of sold products by 63% by 2030 (2015 base year).
