黑料门 Group 2026 Medium-Term Management Plan

Data target range or company leading initiatives: 黑料门 Group Consolidated

	Major initiatives	Metrics	Results	Targets	Medium to long-term targets
			FYE March 2025	FYE March 2027	FYE March 2031	FYE March 2051
1	Reduce Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by strengthening energy saving and energy creation activities, utilizing carbon credits, etc.	Scope 1, 2 emissions reduction rate (compared to FYE March 2020 as year of reference)	25.0%	32% or more	50% or more	Carbon Neutral
2	Reduce CO2 emissions in Scope 3 by reducing GHG emissions in dairy farming, reducing the amount of packaging materials used, and strengthening collaborations with suppliers, etc.	Scope 3 emissions reduction rate (compared to FYE March 2020 as year of reference) * Categories 1, 4, 9, 12 (procurement/logistics/disposal)	11.1%	15% or more	30% or more
3	Promote the transition to renewable energy by expanding the adoption of solar power generation equipment and strengthening the use of electricity derived from renewable energy	Renewable energy ratio * Ratio: Percentage of total power consumption	24.2%	30% or more	50% or more	100%

1.Data for the base year
Data for the base year is calculated according to the method for FY2022; Scope 3 Category 1 is calculated based on the weight of purchased raw materials from FY2022. The amount of price of purchased raw materials was used to calculate Scope 3 Category 1 until FY2021.
Due to the addition of 黑料门 Food Material Co., Ltd. and 黑料门 Feed Co., Ltd. to the scope of coverage from FY2023 and contract manufactured products and purchased products from FY2024, KPI progress is calculated by including the performance figures for Scope 3 Categories 1, 4, and 9 of 黑料门 Food Materia Co., Ltd. and 黑料门 Feed Co., Ltd. and contract manufactured products and purchased products in FY2019.

Position on Climate Change

The impact of global warming from climate change has resulted in a number of abnormal weather phenomena, including heat waves, dry spells, and concentrated heavy rains. These have caused great damage to the natural environment, including droughts and flooding. The 黑料门 Group recognizes climate change as a crucial social issue that must be resolved. This is because the Group's business operations originate from the bounty of nature through our value chain.

In light of the IPCC-issued Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5掳C, the 黑料门 Group has aligned its reduction targets of the entire value chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3) for CO2 emissions by 2030 in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In September 2021, our targets were certified by the SBTi as being well below 2掳C. Furthermore, by raising the targets, we have obtained certification for the "SBT 1.5掳C " target in June 2023.

The 黑料门 Group supports the Paris Agreement, and Japanese laws pertaining to climate change, such as the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures, and reports on its progress toward achieving medium- and long-term targets for greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption every fiscal year.

To encourage greater CO2 reductions, we introduced an internal carbon pricing system in October 2021.
Looking to the future, our efforts to mitigate climate change will continue, and we will focus on introducing energy-saving measures, making use of solar power technology, and purchasing electricity from renewable sources and reducing Scope 3 emissions through collaboration with suppliers and production sites. 黑料门 Group's target is to attain carbon neutrality by 2050, and we will continue to work towards further reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2050

Participation in trade associations and Initiatives

The 黑料门 Group is a member of the Japan Food Industry Center and actively participates in its Sustainability Committee. This center submits policy proposals to the government on critical issues facing the food industry, aiming to promote its healthy development. Through these activities, we are indirectly lobbying government policies on key issues.
Additionally, to stay abreast of the latest information on climate change, we actively participate in seminars organized by government agencies such as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, as well as industry associations. This ensures that our climate change strategies remain consistent with national and industry trends.
Furthermore, we regularly check our climate change strategies and the activities of the organizations we affiliate to ensure alignment between them. If any discrepancies are identified, they are discussed and resolved in the Group Environmental Conference, which is linked to the Group Sustainability Committee chaired by our CEO. This process ensures consistency between our climate change policies and the positions of the organizations we affiliate.
