The Cabinet Office says that while efforts are required to realize a carbon-free society, the percentage of companies that are implementing greenhouse gas emission reductions is only 10% for unlisted companies and 40% for listed companies. I found out in the survey.
In March, the Cabinet Office conducted a questionnaire survey of domestic companies on the status of efforts toward decarbonization, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and received responses from more than 1,700 companies.
According to this, only about 10% of
unlisted companies and 43% of listed companies
answered that they are "implementing" their emission reduction plans,
indicating that their emission reduction efforts are not sufficiently advanced. I did.
When asked about issues related to decarbonization efforts,
38% of the respondents answered that they lacked the necessary know-how and personnel, and
30% said that it was difficult to respond to increased investment and operating costs. And so on.
Corporate efforts are essential to achieve the government's goal of virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but in addition to costs, the challenge of not being able to recruit the necessary talent has emerged. It is a shape.
A person in charge of the Cabinet Office said, "It is important to encourage the expansion of human resource development efforts to promote decarbonization."
