Ceres' Commitment to Science Based Targets Certification
Ceres, Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, and led by CEO Satoshi Tsuki, has recently disclosed its commitment to achieving Science Based Targets (SBT) certification. This announcement coincides with the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), slated for September 25, 2025. The company's goal is to set scientifically grounded emissions reduction targets in alignment with the global climate commitments outlined in the Paris Agreement, particularly the objective to limit global temperature rise to 1.5° Celsius.
Background on SBT Initiative
The guiding philosophy of Ceres is to realize a prosperous world through internet marketing. In this context, the company aims to reconcile economic growth with reduced environmental impact. The recent commitment towards obtaining SBT certification marks a significant milestone on Ceres' journey towards achieving its net-zero goal by 2050. By establishing concrete, science-based goals for greenhouse gas emissions reduction, the company intends to accelerate its decarbonization efforts across all business operations.
Vision After Obtaining SBT Certification
Ceres plans to set specific SBT-aligned goals by July 2027, applying for SBT certification as a guiding framework. This initiative will expand to encompass the entire supply chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3), with strong promotional efforts towards minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the company envisions transforming climate change responses into emerging business opportunities. Through innovative concepts such as a token economy based on a points system and blockchain, Ceres aspires to foster economic vitality and serve as a platform for socio-economic activities.
Ceres' Contributions to the SDGs
Ceres actively participates in advancing the SDGs through its free points site, Moppy. The company operates the Moppy SDGs donation site, which has seen engagement from a total of 13 million members. By enjoying Moppy, members can contribute points toward organizations dedicated to decarbonization, humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and forest conservation.
