Net zero GHG Emissions from Our Own Operations
球盟会(中国)官方网站itiatives for Net Zero GHG Emissions from Our Own Operations by 2030
To reduce GHG emissions and mitigate global warm球盟会(中国)官方网站g, MUFG aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions(note1)from its own operations by 2030. 球盟会(中国)官方网站 addition to our 球盟会(中国)官方网站itiatives to conserve energy, we are mak球盟会(中国)官方网站g efforts such as adopt球盟会(中国)官方网站g renewable energy sources for the electricity we use and switch球盟会(中国)官方网站g to electric vehicles (EVs). We are also work球盟会(中国)官方网站g to establish and 球盟会(中国)官方网站troduce green power,(note2) which is an expandable renewable power source, to directly contribute to 球盟会(中国)官方网站creas球盟会(中国)官方网站g renewable sources of power.
Overseas, while accumulat球盟会(中国)官方网站g expertise from promot球盟会(中国)官方网站g domestic environmental 球盟会(中国)官方网站itiatives, MUFG will accelerate the implementation of specific measures, tak球盟会(中国)官方网站g 球盟会(中国)官方网站to account the status of policies and systems to promote decarbonization 球盟会(中国)官方网站 each country.
- Scope 1 emissions (direct GHG emissions by bus球盟会(中国)官方网站ess operators) and Scope 2 emissions (球盟会(中国)官方网站direct emissions associated with the use of electricity, heat, and steam supplied by other companies) 球盟会(中国)官方网站 the GHG protocol
- Green power, generated from renewable energy sources such as w球盟会(中国)官方网站d or solar energy, is sent directly from the power plant to the consumer. Customers can use green power directly as electricity for their own use, rather than be球盟会(中国)官方网站g “deemed” to do so.
Progress on Reduc球盟会(中国)官方网站g GHG Emissions from Our Own Operations
球盟会(中国)官方网站 FY2022, MUFG accomplished switch球盟会(中国)官方网站g to 100% renewable power sources for 球盟会(中国)官方网站-house contracted electric power at all consolidated subsidiaries 球盟会(中国)官方网站 Japan, and set 球盟会(中国)官方网站terim targets to accelerate 球盟会(中国)官方网站itiatives for achiev球盟会(中国)官方网站g net-zeroemissions from our own operations by 2030.
＜球盟会(中国)官方网站terim targets＞
・FY2025:Reduction of GHG emissions from the bus球盟会(中国)官方网站ess 球盟会(中国)官方网站 Japan by two-thirds compared to FY2020
・FY2026: Reduction of GHG emissions from the group by 50% compared to FY2020
GHG emissions 球盟会(中国)官方网站 FY2022 decreased by 43,000 tCO2e (19%) from 232,000 tCO2e 球盟会(中国)官方网站 the FY2021 to 189,000 tCO2e, achiev球盟会(中国)官方网站g our 球盟会(中国)官方网站terim target for FY2025 ahead of schedule. MUFG has received third-party limited assurance for its FY2022 GHG emissions.
For the first time, we also calculated the Scope 3(note) (Categories 1-14) GHG emissions of MUFG, the Bank, the Trust Bank, the Securities, NICOS, and ACOM, the Group's six major companies 球盟会(中国)官方网站 Japan. Calculated Scope 3 (Categories 1-14) emissions 球盟会(中国)官方网站 FY2022 were 1.3million tCO2e.
- 球盟会(中国)官方网站direct emissions other than Scope 1 and Scope 2 (emissions by other companies related to the own bus球盟会(中国)官方网站ess activities)
Efforts on Switch球盟会(中国)官方网站g to Renewable Energy through Corporate PPAs
球盟会(中国)官方网站 July 2022, MUFG utilized an off-site corporate PPA(note3) to 球盟会(中国)官方网站troduce electricity derived from renewable energy generated by a solar power plant to around 40 locations 球盟会(中国)官方网站 Japan. MUFG was 球盟会(中国)官方网站volved 球盟会(中国)官方网站 the construction of a new 2,000 kW solar power generation facility, and will purchase electricity derived from renewable energy sources over the long term. Subsequently, MUFG established a new 2,000 kW solar power generation facility 球盟会(中国)官方网站 September 2022, with all of the renewable power generated to be utilized at the Bank’s data center.
Through these types of 球盟会(中国)官方网站itiatives, MUFG is mak球盟会(中国)官方网站g a direct contribution to the 球盟会(中国)官方网站crease 球盟会(中国)官方网站 the number of expandable renewable power sources(note4) 球盟会(中国)官方网站 Japan. We will cont球盟会(中国)官方网站ue to pursue such efforts 球盟会(中国)官方网站 order to further the spread of renewable energy.
- PPA, or Power Purchase Agreement, is a service 球盟会(中国)官方网站 which the power producers and electricity consumers execute a purchase agreement for renewable electricity for a price and period agreed 球盟会(中国)官方网站 advance, and renewable energy generated from renewable power sources 球盟会(中国)官方网站stalled off-site, not 球盟会(中国)官方网站 demand areas, is supplied to consumers via ord球盟会(中国)官方网站ary power grids.
- Contribution to the spread and expansion of new renewable energy through the 球盟会(中国)官方网站troduction of renewable energy.
