Our story
Yokogawa has established the “Three goals” in achieving a sustainable society by the year 2050, together with a transformation of our own business and practices. With an interim milestone of 2030, we have set six areas of contribution, balancing our social and environmental contributions against the need to enhance our corporate value, including ambitious targets for each. Using the strengths cultivated during our long history and a commitment to improvement and self-transformation, Yokogawa is accelerating our contributions in six areas to address social issues.
Sustainability at Yokogawa
As the awareness of crisis regarding social and environmental issues increases, the roles and responsibilities of companies increase. In keeping with the belief that Yokogawa’s raison d'etre is to present solutions that solve environmental and social issues, we have formulated Yokogawa's Purpose, a statement that reads, "Utilizing our ability to measure and connect, we fulfill our responsibilities for the future of our planet." The management will have a strong belief, show leadership and promote sustainability management.
Yokogawa Corporation of America has taken a major step forward in our sustainability strategy with the launch of a long-term renewable energy initiative. Our five-year agreement to purchase Green-e® certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) effectively offsets 100% of our electricity consumption in North America.
By sourcing Green-e® certified RECs, Yokogawa ensures that our energy use is matched with electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar. This move underscores our commitment to environmental responsibility and aligns with broader corporate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the transition to a low-carbon economy.
