CO2 Reduction Initiatives to Tackle Climate Change
Amid rising global concern surrounding social issues centered on the climate and energy, the Paris Agreement, in which countries came together to mitigate global warming, and the SDGs set out by the UN, are drawing growing attention.
In Japan, compliance with the energy conservation law will be required by 2030, and Sodick is setting its sights on the use of renewable energy. We promote initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions through installation of solar power generation systems and effective use of the “Cool Biz” energy-saving campaign (cooler business attire to cut down on air conditioning usage) and teleconference systems. The introduction of teleconference systems at our domestic offices and overseas subsidiaries reduces travel for meetings and business discussions, thereby helping to reduce energy consumption.

Expansion of Solar Power Generation Systems
We are expanding solar power generation systems at our business sites both in Japan and overseas. We have installed solar power generation systems at our Head Office, the Kaga Factory, the Miyazaki Factory, and our technical centers in Japan, and at the Thailand Factory, the Suzhou Technical Center (China), and Sodick Europe Ltd. (U.K.) overseas. We also newly installed a solar power generation system at the Amoy Factory (China) in April 2025.
As a result of these efforts, total solar power generated in 2025 was 3,913 MWh (domestic: 2,786 MWh, overseas: 1,127 MWh), eliminating approximately 1,700 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. We will remain committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by continuously expanding the use of renewable energy and improving the self-consumption ratio at our domestic and overseas sites.
