In the followings, KPIs and goals and their progress remain as they were before the revision. The revised KPIs and goals and their progress are scheduled to be disclosed in the first half of FY2025.
1. Stable Supply of Non-Ferrous Metals and Transition to a Circular Economy
Resources such as non-ferrous metals, which are essential for societal development, are finite and are expected to be depleted. Additionally, economic activities that assume mass consumption and disposal of resources place a significant burden on the global environment. Therefore, there is a need for shift to a circular economy across the whole society.
Vision, KPIs and goals
A company that contributes to building and maintaining a circular economy by providing a stable supply of non-ferrous metal resources through its high technological capabilities
2. Realizing a Carbon Neutral Society
Achieving a carbon-neutral society requires efforts from the entire society, and there is a need to mitigate risks related to decarbonization and seize related opportunities.
