Environmental Policy

The IDEC Group revised the Environmental Policy in 2024. During this period, changes in demands relating to climate change such as Paris Agreement and carbon neutrality to reduce CO2 emissions, social demands other than climate change such as establishment of a circular society and biodiversity, etc., and environmental information disclosure in accordance with international disclosure standards such IFRS have emerged.
