Tobu Top Tours Receives SBT Certification for Emission Reduction Goals

Tobu Top Tours Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida, Tokyo, President: Koji Hyakuta) has recently announced that its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have been recognized and certified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on June 12. This initiative supports businesses in establishing scientifically grounded target-setting for their emissions reductions.

Obtaining SBT certification means that the reduction objectives set by the company are aligned with the goals established in the Paris Agreement. Specifically, they aim to keep the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This certification acknowledges that the targets set by Tobu's group are ambitious and consistent with the criteria outlined in the Paris Agreement, marking a significant milestone for the company in its environmental commitment.

Tobu Top Tours' Commitment to Climate Action

Tobu has long recognized climate change as a critical issue in its management strategy. The company has made "environmentally conscious initiatives" one of its core material aspects of sustainable management. With this newly acquired certification, Tobu is even more determined to promote initiatives such as climate change mitigation, carbon neutrality, and the transition to a circular economy.

The certification will act as a catalyst for further advancing environmentally considerate practices with a vision of creating a society where both the planet and local communities can thrive together. The company’s commitment to sustainability will be more pronounced as it continues to engage in practices that reduce environmental impact and enhance community well-being.

About SBTi

The Science Based Targets initiative was established in 2015 by four entities: the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), CDP, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The initiative aims to assist companies in setting greenhouse gas reduction targets based on scientific evidence to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, which seeks to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. By providing tools and guidance, SBTi supports sustainable corporate practices worldwide.
