STRATEGIC AREAS OF MIZUNO’S SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES

Mizuno will further accelerate its sustainability activities in cooperation with stakeholders, suppliers and partners with the spirit of team play and fair play — a value that is inherently taught in all sport.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Mizuno’s target is to become carbon neutral by 2050, which means that the corporate activities of Mizuno Group will cut emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG).  To achieve carbon neutrality, Mizuno will strengthen efforts to use renewable energy and innovate its manufacturing processes.  At the same time, the brand will strengthen environmentally friendly initiatives, such as efficient use of water, reduction of waste, and use of recycled plastics and plant-derived materials.

ENVIRONMENTAL TARGETS
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH SPORTS

Mizuno believes sport is a force for good and is committed to making it more accessible to all.  In particular, the brand will strengthen its efforts to improve the athletic ability and physical strength of children, healthy life expectancy through sport, and support the promotion of local sport as key issues.

RESPECT FOR HUMANITY

Mizuno aims to cultivate an inclusive and diverse local and global community in which all people respect diversity while empowered by mutually shared values taught through sport. The brand recognizes all people are united by these values and seeks to celebrate those unique differences through pillars of friendship and fair play.
