The Takasago group recognizes risks and opportunities of climate change as an important issue for our business strategy.

In line with TCFD recommendations, our sustainability team made scenario analyses and specified the risks and opportunities in a middle-long term through to 2030. Physical risks such as heavy rains, floods and so on, influence on supply chain including the operation at our factories. We are tackling to minimize the impact by implementing the business continuity plan (BCP) and enforce the ability of business continuity at key manufacturing sites.
On the other hand, opportunities were also defined such as the improvement of energy efficiency, new products and technology through innovation, etc.
We find it a new great business opportunity for us to cope with climate change, so we are working very hard to develop low carbon products and technologies diligently.
Our company practices Green Chemistry through the development of catalysts and continuous flow processing, which contribute to reducing energy use and waste.
