As of fiscal 2022, Amada has switched all electricity used at its domestic locations—including offices, factories, and sales branches—to 100% renewable energy. This transition has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 28,000 tons.

When combined with other CO2 reduction efforts and energy-saving measures, Amada reports a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from domestic operations compared to fiscal 2013 levels. Including overseas locations, the company has achieved a 65% reduction across all global sites.
