- Information Disclosure Based on TCFD Recommendations
first
In May 2023, the Tenma Group announced its endorsement of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) recommendations, and based on the TCFD recommendations, established governance, strategy, risk management, and indicators. We are working to disclose information related to four items:The Tenma Group has set “mitigation and adaptation to climate change” as one of its materialities (important issues), and is striving to strengthen its response to climate change. To achieve both, we will strategically promote sustainability activities throughout the Group.
*TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)
It was established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in 2015 at the request of the G20.Companies are encouraged to disclose information on "governance," "strategy," "risk management," and "metrics and targets" related to climate change-related risks and opportunities. (TCFD website:https://www.fsb-tcfd.org/）
Governance
【Oversight system of the Board of Directors】
The Tenma Group recognizes that sustainability issues, including climate change, are important management issues, and in order to address these issues, we have established the Sustainability Promotion Office and the Sustainability Promotion Committee as an organization that reports directly to the President and Representative Director.
The Sustainability Promotion Office works with related departments to lead the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change scenario analysis. Formulation and progress management of action policies for identified and identified materiality, deliberations on matters related to information disclosure related to sustainability, reporting to the Board of Directors, and reporting to the Board of Directors on the activities and progress of this committee We have a system to reportIn addition, in order to discuss specific initiatives for materiality and promote sustainability activities, working groups are set up directly under the committee as necessary, and the entire group works together.
The Board of Directors receives reports and proposals from the Sustainability Promotion Committee as appropriate, discusses and makes resolutions, and oversees overall initiatives related to sustainability issues, including climate change.
【Role of management】
The President and Representative Director serves as chairman of the Board of Directors, directs and supervises sustainable management, including formulating management plans and materiality, including responses to climate change, and has the authority to appoint the chairman of the Sustainability Promotion Committee. and has ultimate responsibility for climate-related issues.
strategy
Scenario analysis is conducted on climate-related risks and opportunities to assess the resilience of Tenma Group's business strategies.
【Scenario analysis process】
We use the following process to identify and assess climate-related risks and opportunities, and consider countermeasures.
- Identification of risks and opportunities
- Extract a wide range of climate-related risks and opportunities, and identify the most important risks and opportunities based on the magnitude of the business impact of the risks and opportunities.
- Scenario creation
- Obtain objective future information on parameters related to risk/opportunity items and create scenarios
- Measuring financial impact
- Measure the financial impact in fiscal 2030 of highly material risks and opportunities based on the scenarios created
- Examination of countermeasures
- Based on the measured financial impact, consider countermeasures aimed at reducing risks and seizing opportunities
[Scenario overview]
Based on reports based on scientific knowledge such as the IEA and international trends such as the Paris Agreement, we have selected a 1.5°C scenario for transitioning to a low-carbon society and a 4°C scenario for advancing global warming.
| scenario | Overview | Main References Referenced |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 ℃ scenario |
In order to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, decarbonization policies such as carbon taxes, emissions trading, and plastic regulations will be strengthened. Along with this, it is expected that there will be requests for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a shift from virgin plastics to recycled and bioplastics, and an increase in demand for low-carbon products. Since the temperature rise will be suppressed, it is assumed that the physical impact will not be large. |
|
| 4 ℃ scenario |
Reliance on fossil fuels has fueled economic development, inadequate climate change policies, and slow progress in decarbonization technologies. On the other hand, as the temperature rises, the need for air conditioning equipment and measures against heatstroke will increase, and it is expected that weather disasters such as floods will become more severe and physical damage will expand. |

[Results of scenario analysis]
As for the impact on business under the 1.5°C scenario, efforts aimed at achieving carbon neutrality will progress, and policies aimed at decarbonization such as carbon taxes, emissions trading, and plastic regulations will be strengthened. While operating costs such as electricity are expected to increase, sales opportunities for eco-friendly low-carbon products are expected to increase.
As for the impact on business in the 4°C scenario, we anticipate an increase in investment in air-conditioning equipment, etc. to cope with rising temperatures and costs related to heat stroke countermeasures.In addition, there are concerns that operations will be suspended due to damage to the Group's business sites and disruption of the supply chain due to intensifying weather disasters.
The results of the scenario analysis will be reflected in the Tenma Group's long-term vision and medium-term management plan, and by implementing countermeasures and monitoring progress, we will build resilient strategies.
Risk management
[Process to identify, assess and manage climate-related risks]
The Sustainability Promotion Office works with related departments to identify a wide range of climate-related risks and opportunities, identify and evaluate important risks and opportunities based on their impact on business, and formulate countermeasures. We are considering.
The results of scenario analysis and the progress of countermeasures for risks and opportunities are regularly reported to the Sustainability Promotion Committee and the Board of Directors.
[Integration status of climate-related risk management and company-wide risk management]
The Tenma Group will develop and operate a group-wide risk management system to ensure the completeness of risks, as well as identify important risks and implement risk mitigation measures to control risks for the entire group. For this purpose, we have established the Risk Management Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Risk Management Officer and whose secretariat is the Internal Control Office of the General Affairs Department.
Risks identified through scenario analysis are reported and made recommendations to the Risk Management Committee as necessary to integrate climate-related risks into company-wide risk management.
metrics and goals
[Indicators related to climate change risks and opportunities]
The Tenma Group has established Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions as indicators to measure and manage climate-related risks and opportunities.We are also proceeding with calculations for Scope 3.
In order to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050, we are currently considering GHG emission reduction targets, and will disclose them once they are finalized.

Status of efforts to reduce GHG emissions
In order to reduce GHG emissions, we are promoting measures such as electrifying injection molding machines, switching to LED lighting equipment, and updating air conditioning equipment at each production base. From May 2023, we will install solar panels on the roof of the new Shiga factory building under an on-site PPA (power purchase agreement) to expand the use of renewable energy. Zhongshan Co., Ltd. also installed solar power generation equipment in December 5 and is working to reduce GHG emissions.
To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, in addition to the above measures, we will also consider improving energy efficiency by building a highly efficient production system.
