Emission reduction from corporate activities
CO2 emission reduction from corporate activities
As
an
automobile
manufacturer,
Nissan
is
taking
steps
to
reduce
its
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
corporate
activities
by
promoting
energy
efficiency
measures
and
the
use
of
renewable
energy.
Based
on
calculations
incorporating
the
findings
of
the
Fourth
Assessment
Report
from
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
(IPCC),
Nissan
established
the
goal
of
reducing
its
overall
corporate
CO2
emissions
by
2050.
Also,
as
part
of
the
Nissan
Green
Program
2022
(NGP2022),
we
set
the
midterm
goal
of
a
30%
reduction
in
overall
corporate
CO2
emissions
by
2022.
Manufacturing
is
our
largest
emissions
source,
but
we
are
also
aiming
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
logistics,
offices
and
dealerships,
setting
targets
and
taking
action
in
each
area.
In
January
2021,
Nissan
announced
the
goal
to
achieve
carbon
neutrality
across
the
company’s
operations
and
the
life
cycle
of
its
products
by
2050
to
contribute
to
the
resolution
of
global
climate
change.

Key Activities in NGP2022
Overall: 30% reduction in CO2 emissions from global corporate activities by 2022 (vs. 2005/per vehicle sold)
- Manufacturing: Diagnose energy loss through NESCO (Nissan Energy Saving Collaboration) team activities, share best practices among factories, improve operational efficiency of equipment, invest in equipment, use renewable energy;
- Logistics: Expand modal shift, improve packaging specifications, improve loading ratios, increase fuel efficiency;
- Offices: Share best practices among offices, introduce LED lighting, diagnose energy loss through NESCO team activities particularly targeting offices that emit more CO2 than other sites;
- Dealerships: Implement Nissan’s original ISO-14001-based Nissan Green Shop certification system for environmental management, deploy energy-efficient equipment to new locations.
