Our long-term vision on climate change
Marubeni will contribute to the transition towards a low-carbon society by promoting the expansion of the handled volume of renewable energy sources pertaining to energy trading.
An example of this is SmartestEnergy Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom that manages approximately 3GW of total energy, which is purchased from independent generators; about 80% of that 3GW is generated by renewable energy sources.
In 2021, Marubeni Corporation made a commitment based upon the Paris Agreement, to recognise the importance and urgency of limiting the global average temperature increase by the end of this century to 1.5°C. For the purpose of medium- and long-term contributions to measures addressing climate change, Marubeni has formulated a long-term vision on climate change and ensures that these are enshrined in the strategy, culture and day to day operations of the company.
Marubeni has signed an MoU in October 2023 to invest 10 billion pounds ($12.3 billion) with partners over the next decade in clean energy in the United Kingdom.
