TCFD: Metrics and Targets

SAKATA Group has establshed medium- to long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2*1 across the group. The actual emissions from our domestic sites*2 and major overseas sites*3 are as follows. We are also considering measuring Scope3*1 emissions in the future.

  1. *

    Scope1: Direct emissions from the use of fuels etc. by the business/company itself
    Scope2: Indirect emissions from the use of electricity, etc. supplied by other companies
    Scope3: Other indirect emissionsnot included in Scope1 and Scope2 (e.g., emissions from other companies related to business activities)

  2. *

    Domestic sites: SAKATA SEED CORPORATION, Yamagata Celltop Co., Ltd., Hida Celltop Co., Ltd., Fukuoka Celltop Co., Ltd., Sakata Logistics Co., Ltd., Sakata Green Service Co., Ltd., Brolead Co., Ltd.

  3. *

    Major overseas sites: Sakata Seed America, Inc., Sakata Vegetables Europe S.A.S., Sakata Seed Sudamerica LTDA., Sakata Seed (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.

    Emissions figures have been retrospectively revised due to an expansion of the calculation scope (adding subsidiaries previously not included) and a refinement of calculation methodology. In FY2024, Scope1 emissions for Overseas (Major Sites) increased compared to FY2023, primarily due to the expanded data collection coverage at Sakata Vegetables Europe S.A.S.
