Environmental Policy

The Olympus Group's environmental initiatives are founded on its Corporate Philosophy, the Olympus Global Code of Conduct and the Environmental Health and Safety Policy. In compliance with our Environmental Health and Safety Policy, we take steps to ensure observance of the relevant laws and regulations, as well as social norms; reduction of environmental impact as pertains to climate change, resource recycling, and preserving biodiversity; and enhanced communication on environmental issues. We also strive to continue to make improvements in these areas.

Promotion Structure

In the Olympus Group, the CEO is appointed as the top executive officers for the environment. Also, and the CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer), who manages human resource development and general affairs including matters related to the environment, health and safety (EHS), serves as the top management for environmental affairs for the entire Group. The EHS management division formulates the Environmental Health and Safety Policy, and also plans and implements environmental measures and monitors environmental initiatives across the entire Group, such as the progress of energy reduction targets and implementation status of environmental measures, under the direction from CHRO. In addition, environmental management divisions have been established at each business site and Group company, and the EHS management division is responsible for environmental management for the entire Group. Since FY2015, the EHS management division has created and operated an information platform for the entire Group to enable efficient gathering and sharing of information on environmental initiatives at various global sites that are essential to environmental management, as well as environment-related data and the status of these sites in complying with laws and regulations.
We acquired ISO 14001 certification at our main manufacturing, logistics, and sales sites (as of the end of FY2025, 97 of sites had acquired certification on a greenhouse gas emissions basis), and sites in Japan, China, and Vietnam have shifted to multi-site certification since FY2021. At each site, we conduct management of environmental performance, including energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and waste recycling rate using a PDCA cycle in accordance with annual policies and continuously make improvements. In addition, we objectively assess the degree of achievement of targets through monthly evaluations of performance, internal audits, and site patrols, and if any issues are identified, promptly implement remedial measures in an effort to enhance environmental performance.

Long-term Targets and Measures

The Olympus Group is acutely aware of today’s issues of environmental pollution, climate change, resource depletion, and ecosystem destruction, treating these as serious social problems. In this connection, we made the determination in May of 2021 that doing our part to achieve a carbon neutral society and the circular economy would be a primary focus of our ESG initiatives. In addition, in an ambitious goal of achieving the carbon neutral society, we have also established the following goals. The SBTi certified that these goals are consistent with the 1.5° C target level specified in the Paris Agreement (☆: Goals certified by SBTi).

Category	Goal
GHG emissions throughout the entire supply chain (Scope 1, 2, 3*1)	Achieve net zero*2 carbon emissions by FY2040, with FY2020 as the base year☆
GHG emissions at own facilities (Scope 1, 2*1)	Achieve carbon neutrality*3 by FY2031, with FY2020 as the base year (Reduce GHG emissions by 70%☆ with FY2020 as the base year. Offset remaining GHG emissions with carbon credits)
Adopting renewable energy sources	Make the shift to 100% renewable energy sources for electricity*4 used by Olympus Group facilities through FY2031
Supplier engagement	Set goals for reduction of GHG gases, based in scientific evidence, for 80% of the Olympus Group’s suppliers by FY2031☆ (Based on emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution)

In order to achieve these goals, the Olympus Group functions as a consolidated unit, stepping up initiatives to improve manufacturing processes, as well as to save energy and implement the shift to renewable energy sources by way of specific strategies pertaining to equipment. Furthermore, with a view to reducing environmental impact across the supply chain, the Olympus Group continuously implements measures to develop environmentally-conscious products and improve logistics efficiency. To this end, the Group sets voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in cooperation with suppliers, and support decarbonization initiatives in an effort to achieve sustainable business.

*1 Scope 1: Direct greenhouse gas emissions by combustion of fuels in our sites.
Scope 2: Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from our sites use of electricity, heat or steam supplied by other companies. Scope 3: Other, indirect emissions of greenhouse gas emissions (excluding Scope 1 and 2).

*2 Net zero means reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) as much as possible (at least 90%) in line with the latest climate science (1.5°C scenario) and using credits derived from carbon sequestration and removal (such as afforestation and CO2 capture and storage) for an amount equivalent to the residual greenhouse gas emissions (less than 10%) to achieve a balance.

*3 Carbon neutrality refers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from site operations (Scope 1 and 2) and offset an amount equivalent to the remaining greenhouse gas emissions using carbon credits, thereby achieving zero emissions overall.

*4 Excluding rental properties, such as sales sites.

Major Environmental Activity Results in FY2025

Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations

Green Procurement

At Olympus, with a view to making progress on creating products that pose a lower environmental impact, and to do our part to achieve a more sustainable society, we have established the Olympus Group Green Procurement Standard. In accordance with the Standard, we ask that all of our suppliers adopt the Olympus Group’s approach to environmental activities, and strive to make progress on these initiatives.
In addition, through the corporate survey that we conduct targeting major suppliers around the world with whom we conduct ongoing business, we confirm that status of the following measures, and we are working with suppliers to raise the level of our environmental activities.

• Establishment of environmental management systems and acquisition of ISO 14001 certification
• Compliance with laws, regulations, and social norms
• Determination of environmental impacts, setting targets, and taking action to reduce impact (GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3), water use, and amount of waste discharge)
• Countermeasures against chemicals
• Measures for environmentally-conscious products
• Biodiversity conservation

Environmental Education and Awareness Activities

The Olympus Group promotes environmental initiatives with the participation of all employees in accordance with its Environmental Health and Safety Policy. We recognize that raising the environmental awareness of employees is essential for achieving this, and we continuously conduct awareness-raising measures through environmental education and conservation activities.
In FY2025, we conducted an environmental e-learning program for Gorup employees in conjunction with World Environment Day in June. This program provided information on social trends and examples of internal and external initiatives related to environmental issues, such as climate change, resource circulation, and biodiversity conservation, promoting greater environmental awareness among employees.
At each site globally, we also conducted various specialized training programs with the objective of improving and effectively operating our environmental management systems, including environmental specialist training and compliance with environmental laws and regulations, tailored to local conditions.
