- This is an unclaimed profile. Mizuno has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Mizuno says it wants to help build a sustainable society through sport, while also cutting its environmental impact. Its sustainability pages focus on climate action, responsible sourcing, human rights, product safety, and diversity. The company says it has set long-term climate targets, including net zero by 2050, and it reports progress on energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmentally friendly products. It also has a formal sustainability structure with board oversight and a dedicated council. Independent ratings are mixed to weak: Good On You rates Mizuno “Not Good Enough,” while Trustpilot reviews are low to average. Positive Sentiment Found Positive third-party sentiment is limited, but there are a few signs of progress. Good On You says Mizuno uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials, and notes that the brand partly traces its supply chain through the final production stage. Mizuno also has ISO 14001 certification at multiple sites, which is an international standard for managing environmental impact, and it says its reduction targets were certified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a body that checks whether climate targets match climate science. On the consumer side, Trustpilot scores are mixed rather than strongly negative on some pages, with ratings of 2.8 out of 5 from 3 reviews and 3 out of 5 from 6 reviews for some Mizuno sites. Common Criticisms: The strongest third-party signal is negative. Good On You rates Mizuno “Not Good Enough” overall, with a 2 out of 5 Planet score, 1 out of 5 People score, and 3 out of 5 Animals score. It says there is no evidence of meaningful action on biodiversity, microplastics, or water use, and no evidence that workers in the supply chain are paid living wages. It also says Mizuno did not disclose adequate worker protections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumer reviews are also weak on Trustpilot, including a 2 out of 5 score based on 59 reviews for Mizuno Corp. Overall, the public picture suggests limited transparency and weak independent confidence in the brand’s social and environmental performance.

Mizuno Sustainability Commitments
2030
Cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Mizuno plans to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.4% by FY2030 compared with FY2018. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from the company’s own operations, and Scope 2 covers emissions from purchased electricity and energy. This target is part of its wider climate plan.
2030
Cut Scope 3 emissions
Mizuno plans to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 58.1% by FY2030 compared with FY2018, measured per 1 billion yen of added value. Scope 3 covers emissions across the wider value chain, such as purchased goods, logistics, and product use or disposal. The company says this is important because most of its emissions sit outside its own sites.
2050
Reach net zero
Mizuno says it aims to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Net zero means cutting emissions as far as possible and balancing any remaining emissions with removals or other measures. The company presents this as its long-term climate goal.
