TOTO Receives SBTi Approval

TOTO, a plumbing manufacturer, received approval for its 2030 GHG reduction targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). 

The company also received a spot on the Carbon Disclosure Project's (CDP) A List for its environmental disclosure and performance.

"TOTO's achievements with the SBTi and CDP are not merely accolades but reflections of our genuine commitment to contributing toward a carbon-neutral and sustainable society by 2050," said Hidemi Ishikawa, CEO of TOTO USA, in a statement. "Achieving the SBTi's '1.5℃ target' validation and earning a place on the CDP's A List signifies our steadfast dedication to expanding our sustainable practices, which are integral to TOTO's operational success."

As part of its broader strategy to achieve carbon-neutral status by 2050, TOTO has set goals to lower CO2 emissions by 47.5% from its business sites (Scope 1 and 2) and by 25% in product usage emissions (Scope 3 Category 11) by 2030, relative to its 2021 baseline.

The company is advancing toward its goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2040, focusing on energy conservation and significant equipment upgrades across its operations.
