Climate Action
Reduce impact on the earth for playing sports by reducing CO₂ emissions throughout the value chain.
- ASICS' targets and initiatives
- Our net-zero 2050 target
- Managing the environmental impacts of manufacturing
- Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions
- Reducing scope 3 CO₂ emissions
ASICS' targets and initiatives
Targets
- CO₂ emissions reduction rate in direct operation and supply chain(2015 baseline).
- Percentage Electricity from renewable sources in own operations.
Action plan onward
- Work with suppliers to reduce CO₂ emissionsbased on new Green Procurement Policy and newMaterial Procurement Policy.
- Continue CO₂ labeling of ASICS’ products.
- Continue to expand the use of electricity fromrenewable sources, focusing on the facilities withhigher emissions.
- Develop clear roadmap to achieve 100% by 2030.
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).
