Climate Change

To help create a decarbonized society, Mizuno is committed to reducing energy consumption and energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the entire Group. Recognizing the importance of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire value chain, Mizuno is also working to lower GHG emissions associated with its products.
In April 2024, Mizunoʼs reduction targets were officially certified by the international initiative, the Science Based Targets (SBT) Initiative.

Mizuno is actively engaged in a variety of initiatives aimed at achieving its long-term environmental targets.
Key efforts include the installation of solar power systems at domestic factories and the expansion of LED lighting at offices both in Japan and overseas.
In particular, facilities with relatively high environmental impact—such as the headquarters building and factories—are being prioritized for strategic implementation to reduce energy consumption.
Additionally, Mizuno is gradually replacing its company vehicles with hybrid and other fuel-efficient models, and has introduced electric vehicles in some areas to evaluate their safety and environmental benefits.
All company vehicles are equipped with telematics systems, which visualize driving behavior. This not only encourages safer driving but also contributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions.

In fiscal year 2025, Mizunoʼs total domestic energy consumption was 82,746 GJ. Energy intensity improved by 0.2 points from the previous year, reaching 53.3.*

Mizuno is progressively converting lighting to LED to reduce energy consumption. Equipment used in our buildings is being upgraded to energy-efficient models as they come up for replacement. However, due to the difficulty in tracking the reduction amounts and types of energy for individual initiatives, there are currently no plans to disclose this information.

In fiscal year 2025, the Mizuno Group set a target for total energy-derived greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 10,640 t-CO2e (market-based), and achieved actual emissions of 10,377 t-CO2e.
This result exceeded the reduction target, indicating steady progress in reducing GHG emissions across the entire group. In FY2025, we further advanced the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the use of non-fossil fuel certificates.
Going forward, Mizuno will continue working to further reduce emissions through the introduction of energy-saving equipment, operational efficiency improvements, and the use of renewable energy sources.
No GHG emissions from biological sources, such as biomass combustion, have been identified.

Mizuno recognizes that achieving a decarbonized society requires not only reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations, but also taking action across the entire value chain.

Accordingly, Mizuno calculates GHG emissions throughout its value chain based on Scope 3 standards defined by the GHG Protocol. In fiscal year 2025, Scope 3 emissions accounted for 97.57% of Mizunoʼs total GHG emissions.

To reduce these emissions, Mizuno is working with partners such as Sumitomo Warehouse, which operates its main distribution centers, to promote the installation of LED lighting. Additionally, Mizuno is advancing a modal shift in transportation between major logistics hubs in western and eastern Japan.

Within Scope 3, Category 1 (“Purchased Goods and Services”) and Category 12 (“End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products”) together account for approximately 80% of total emissions.

In fiscal year 2021, Mizuno revised its calculation method for these categories, adopting an LCA-based approach.
To further reduce emissions in Category 1, Mizuno continues to promote the use of environmentally friendly materials such as recycled and plant-based resources, while collaborating with supply chain partners to explore additional reduction measures.

There are no relevant emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and other significant atmospheric emissions, so reporting on these is not being conducted.

• Mizuno will continue to advance greenhouse gas emissions reduction initiatives across Scopes 1, 2, and 3 in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
• We will promote initiatives aimed at the adoption of renewable energy, energy conservation, and the transition to low-carbon energy sources.
• Mizuno will promote efforts throughout the supply chain to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
• We will promote initiatives aimed at building a circular economy, including waste reduction and resource circulation.
