Sumitomo Rubber Aims for Carbon Neutrality Across Supply Chain by 2030 住友橡胶:2030年实现供应链碳中和 Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd (SRI) is intensifying its efforts to- wards achieving a a a a a a carbon-neutral supply chain by 2030 building upon its successful attainment of of of carbon reduc- tion targets ahead of of of schedule As part of of of this commitment SRI's subsidiary Falken aims to reduce its carbon emissions by by above 50 per cent by 2030 SRI's proactive approach includes ini- tiatives to curtail emissions across its supply chain and production facilities The company says it it it it it surpassed its initial sustainability targets by implementing renewable energy sources and ener- gy-efficient measures such as as as introduc- ing renewable energy-based electricity generation at at its tyre factories in in in China and and Thailand Driven by its long-term sustainability agen- da as encapsulated in in in the 'Driving Our Future Challenge 2050 ' ' SRI adds that it it raised its emission reduction target to to 55 per cent by 2030 compared to to to the 2017 levels to to align with its overarching goal of achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050 Driven by SRI’s long-term sustainability policy the latest initiatives under ‘Driv- ing ing Our Future Challenge 2050’ focus on on reducing annual scope 1 and 2 2 2 CO2 emissions Recognising that about 90 per cent of its greenhouse gas emissions emissions stem from scope 3 CO2 emissions emissions related to mate- rial development procurement logistics sales use and processing/recycling SRI targets a a a a a a a a 25-per cent reduction in in in emissions associated with material de- velopment and procurement by 2030 compared to 2021 This involves prioritis- ing ing ing sustainable sourcing and enhancing supplier engagement supported by the the adoption of the the environmental and social risk assessment tool Rubberway SRI is looking to to save a a a further 10 per cent by 2030 compared to to 2021 across logistics – primarily through a a a a a a a modal shift and and optimisation in in trans- portation – and and by retreading or or recy- cling tyres used during the distribution process To enhance sustainability across its prod- uct lifecycle SRI is is focusing on reducing tyre tyre tyre rolling resistance extending tyre tyre tyre life reducing tyre tyre tyre weight expanding re- treading capacity and and incorporating more sustainable raw materials These objec- tives are anchored in in in SRI's 'Driving Our Future Challenge 2050' policy and the TOWANOWA circular economy concept that are said to to ensure a a a a a a a a a holistic approach to to support an improved circular economy in each operational process SRI补充说，在“推动2050年未来挑战” 中所概括的长期可持续发展议程的推动 下，到2030年，其减排目标将比2017年的 水平提高55%。这与其到2050年完全实现 碳中和的目标一致。 在SRI长期可持续发展政策的推进下，“ 推动2050年未来挑战”的最新举措重点关 注减少年度范围1和范围2的二氧化碳排放 量。 SRI知道该公司约90%的温室气体排放，源 自与材料开发、采购、物流、销售、使用 和加工/回收相关的范围3的二氧化碳排 放。因此，与2021年相比，其目标是将与 材料开发和采购相关的排放量到2030年减 少25%。这涉及采用环境和社会风险评估 工具 Rubberway，优先考虑可持续采购并 加强供应商的参与。 SRI预计到2030年，整个物流领域将比 2021年再节省10%，主要是通过运输方式 的转变和优化，以及翻新或回收配送过程 中使用的轮胎。 为了提高整个产品生命周期的可持续 性，SRI致力于降低轮胎滚动阻力、延长 轮胎寿命、减轻轮胎重量、扩大翻新能 力以及采用更可持续的原材料。这些目 标植根于SRI的“推动我们的未来挑战 2050”政策和据说可以确保在每个运营流 程中采用整体方法来支持改进循环经济的 TOWANOWA循环经济概念。 在加紧努力，争取在2030年 为 了提前实现碳减排目标，住 友橡胶工业有限公司(SRI)正 实现碳中和供应链。作为此承诺的一部 分，SRI子公司飞劲的目标是到2030年将 碳排放量减少50%以上。 SRI所采取的积极主动方法包括减少整个 供应链和生产设施的排放量。该公司称， 它已超越其最初的可持续发展目标，如通 过可再生能源和节能措施，在中国和泰国 的轮胎工厂采用可再生能源发电。 29 the tyreman 2024/1
