Endorsement of TCFD Recommendations
2023年2月20日
新明和工业株式会社(总部:兵库县宝冢市,总裁兼首席执行官:五十川龍之)于 2023 年 1 月宣布支持 TCFD(气候相关财务披露工作组)的建议。
此外,根据TCFD关于主动披露气候变化相关财务信息的建议,我们将披露以下四个项目的信息:“治理”、“战略”、“风险管理”、“指标和目标”。
本公司今后也将灵活运用TCFD建议的框架,在不断充实信息公开的质量和数量的同时,进一步推进应对气候变化的措施,为实现可持续发展的社会做出贡献。
1. Governance
The Board of Directors of the Company chaired by the President and Chief Executive Officer, sees climate risks and opportunities as key issues and topics concerning corporate management and is responsible for overseeing and deliberating on them. The Board of Director meets monthly in principle to discuss and examine key management issues including those concerning climate change based on the medium-term management plan, thereby supervising the execution of duties by Directors and Executive Officers.
The Company is oriented toward management from a long-term perspective and established the Sustainability Committee to respond to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in corporate management. The Committee, chaired by Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Sustainability management), is tasked with identifying key issues (materiality), setting key performance indicators (KPIs), monitoring and supervising the progress of investigations by sub-committees for the ESG elements (Environmental Subcommittee, Social Subcommittee, and Governance Subcommittee), checking achievements against KPIs and reviewing plans, and reporting to the Board of Directors on these topics (twice annually, in principle).
Going forward, climate risks and opportunities will be also handled under this framework as a key issue, and the Sustainability Committee will monitor developments.

2. Strategy
Given the significance of the potential impact that climate change may have on the business of the Company as well as long-term uncertainty, the Company conducts scenario analyses as a process to identify and assess climate risks and opportunities relevant to its business.
The Company conducted scenario analyses for two of its five divisions in FY2022 -- the Special Purpose Truck Business and the Fluid Business. The Company started with these two divisions for analysis because the Special Purpose Truck Business is its main business, accounting for about half of its sales on a consolidated basis, and the Fluid Business is highly relevant to climate opportunities.
The Company identified climate risks and opportunities in these two businesses based on two assumed scenarios for the world outlook: the 1.5/2.0 degrees Celsius scenario of globally achieving net zero by 2050 and the 4.0 degrees Celsius scenario of facing more extreme weather events and more serious disasters due to changing climate as a result of prioritizing economic activities.
The specific processes and results of the scenario analysis are provided below.

Short term: by 2023; medium term: by 2030; long term: by 2050 - Scenarios used
1.5/2.0 degrees Celsius scenario: IEA Energy Outlook, the 2.0 degrees Celsius scenario (RCP2.6) of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
4.0 degrees Celsius scenario: IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, the 4.0 degrees Celsius scenario (RCP8.5) of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
3. Risk Management
With regard to risks associated with business operations, the Company established the ShinMaywa Group Risk Management Rules. Under these Rules, each of the divisions and Group companies is taking the initiative to build risk management systems suitable for their business characteristics. In addition, the Head Office monitors the status of risk management by those divisions and group companies and implements company-wide measures against risks, including disaster and financial risks, thereby establishing risk management systems.
The Sustainability Committee checks the establishment of risk management systems and activities in the ShinMaywa Group based on information reported by the Head Office and business divisions. The Committee also identifies company-wide key risks in light of their impact on business operations and reports such information to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors on a regular basis to ensure the effectiveness of risk management in the group.
As for climate change, the Company has conducted scenario analyses for the first time in FY2022, covering two businesses, as a process to identify and assess climate risks and opportunities relevant to its businesses, given the significance of the potential impact that climate change may cause to its businesses, as well as long-term uncertainty. Under the company-wide risk management framework described above, the Company will manage climate risks and opportunities of special important, among those identified by the scenario analysis.

4. Metrics and Targets
我们目前的 2030 年中期温室气体减排目标是到 2030 年将能源使用产生的 CO2排放总量减少 38%(与 2017 年相比)。这将使我们在 2017 财年与能源使用相关的 CO2排放量从 42,720 t-CO2e 减少到 2030 财年的 26,486 t-CO2e。
下表显示了过去五年范围 1 和 2 的排放量。未来,我们计划致力于范围 3 的计算和披露。
