Environmental Management
The IHI Group has identified three key environmental issues— Climate Change, Natural Capital, and Circular Economy—and is continuously committed to reducing environmental impacts on the entire social system in accordance with the IHI Group Basic Environmental Policy, which serves as its action guideline.
Climate Change
Climate change has a significant impact on society and the economy and poses a critical challenge to corporate sustainability.
The IHI Group treats climate change as one of its material issues and is taking measures from both the mitigation perspective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the adaptation perspective of reducing the effects of those emissions.
Natural Capital and Biodiversity
The IHI Group recognizes natural capital as one of its key environmental issues and is advancing initiatives aimed at the sustainable use and restoration of natural capital.
Circular Economy and Pollution Prevention
The IHI Group recognizes circular economy as one of its key environmental issues. The Group aims to transition from the traditional linear economic model of mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal to a sustainable circular economic model in which resources are kept in circulation and utilized to their fullest extent. At the same time, it continues its efforts to reduce environmental impacts on the air, water, soil, and other aspects of the natural environment.
