ZOZO's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Validated as Science Based Targets by the the Science Based Targets initiative

ZOZO, Inc. (headquartered in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, Representative Director, President & CEO: SAWADA Kotaro), which operates the fashion e-commerce ZOZOTOWN, announces that its short-term goal—the “2030 Carbon Neutrality Declaration,” which aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its business operations by 2030—and its long-term goal—the “Net Zero” target, which aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions including indirect emissions associated with its business operations—have been officially validated as Science Based Targets (“SBT”) by the international climate initiative, Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”).*¹

Through this validation, SBTi has confirmed that the Company’s both short-term and long-term targets meet its standards.

SBTi is an international climate initiative jointly operated by the United Nations Global Compact , CDP, World Resources Institute (WRI), We Mean Business Coalition, and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The organization reviews and certifies whether the emission reduction targets of companies and organizations worldwide are scientifically aligned with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal.
