Fast Retailing has achieved its target of a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations, such as stores and main offices (Scope 1 and Scope 2). The company achieved this target in FY2025 (ending August 2025), four years ahead of its original FY2030 goal (ending August 2030).
The company established this target in 2021 as part of its efforts to accelerate the transition toward a new business model that balances sustainability with business growth. Through steady progress and implementing a range of initiatives, the company successfully achieved its target earlier than planned.
As part of its efforts to reduce GHG emissions, Fast Retailing has promoted more efficient energy use at both its stores and offices. These initiatives include controlling electricity use outside of business hours, and installing air-conditioning systems that automatically adjust to a preset temperature. In addition, the company has also actively expanded its use of renewable energy, and promoted the development of energy-efficient roadside stores as part of its store design initiatives.
As a result of these efforts, GHG emissions from the energy use at Fast Retailing's own operations such as stores and major offices were reduced by 90.3% in FY2025 (ending August 2025) compared to the FY2019 base year (ending August 2019).
Additionally, previous to this announcement, Fast Retailing raised its GHG emissions reduction target in its supply chain* (Scope 3) from 20% to 30%, in November 2025.
* Emissions related to raw material production, fabric manufacturing, and sewing of UNIQLO and GU products
In addition to reducing emissions at its own operations, Fast Retailing is working collaboratively with its production partners across the supply chain to address climate change and reduce GHG emissions.
Fast Retailing's progress toward its FY2030 Climate Change-related targets is as follows:
FY2030 Climate Change Targets and Progress

| 1 | Reduce GHG emissions from own operations, such as stores and main offices (Scope 1 and Scope 2), by 90% by FY2030 (compared to FY2019) | GHG emissions were down 90.3% (83.3% reduction in the previous fiscal year) Achieved the target by FY2025 (ending August 2025) |
| 2 | Reduce GHG emissions from raw materials, fabric and garment production for UNIQLO and GU products (Scope 3, Category 1) by 30% by FY2030 (compared to FY2019) | GHG emissions were down 19.9% (18.6% reduction in the previous fiscal year) |
| 3 | Use 100% renewable energy at all of our stores and major offices worldwide by FY2030 | The Percentage of renewable energy procurement reached 93.5% (84.7% in the previous fiscal year) |
Targets 1-3 have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as science-based targets (SBT), and are in line with the level of decarbonization required to achieve the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.
Fast Retailing will continue its efforts toward achieving its goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
