JTEKT THAILAND COMPANY LIMITED, a local subsidiary of JTEKT CORPORATION (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aichi, Japan, President: Yoshihito Kondo, hereinafter "JTEKT"), has received the 2nd Runner-up (3rd Place) in the "Energy Management in Buildings and Industries - Large Industries" category at the ASEAN Energy Awards 2026, which recognizes outstanding energy-saving activities among ASEAN member countries.
JTEKT Group has established its Environmental Challenge 2050 and, under the slogan "All for One Earth," positions the reduction of environmental impact including the achievement of carbon neutrality as a key priority across the entire Group. To realize carbon neutrality through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we are pursuing CO₂ reduction across all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. For Scope 1 and 2 emissions related to our own production activities, we aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035.
Aligned with this policy, we have been installing solar power systems across our domestic and overseas sites. Additionally, we generate green hydrogen using electricity produced by these solar systems, and have introduced hydrogen burner-type aluminum melting and holding furnaces--powered by this green hydrogen--into automotive parts production lines. We are also focusing on circular economy initiatives to enhance the sustainability of our business activities, including maximizing resource and product value, minimizing resource consumption, and reducing waste generation.

Future Outlook
JTEKT regards addressing climate change as one of its critical issues and aims to achieve the targets set out in its Environmental Challenge 2050, which seeks to minimize environmental impact. To support these efforts, the company has formulated its 2030 Environmental Action Plan, which sets goals for three key pillars (Carbon Neutrality, Circular Economy, and Nature Positive) as well as for Environmental Management, the foundation that supports these pillars. To achieve carbon neutrality across the entire JTEKT Group by 2035, we will continue to share this plan throughout the Group, promote new technology development and improvements in production processes, and further expand the use of renewable energy. We will also establish a local production-and-consumption model for green hydrogen within our plants and accelerate CO₂ reductions in Scopes 1 and 2.
