Mizuno Sustainability Actions

Set climate targets

Mizuno has set long-term climate goals for its business. It says it aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are the emissions from its own operations and purchased energy, by 50.4% by FY2030 compared with FY2018. It also plans to cut Scope 3 emissions, which cover most of the rest of its value chain, by 58.1% by FY2030 on a per-value-added basis. The company says it wants to reach net zero by 2050.

Installed energy-saving measures

Mizuno says it has added solar power systems at domestic factories and expanded LED lighting in offices in Japan and overseas. It is also replacing company vehicles with hybrid and other fuel-efficient models, and has introduced electric vehicles in some areas to test their safety and environmental benefits. The company says telematics systems, which track driving behaviour, are fitted to all company vehicles to support safer driving and lower fuel use.

Reduced emissions in 2024

In fiscal year 2024, Mizuno says its total domestic energy use was 111,730 GJ, and its energy intensity fell by 4.1 points to 75.9. It also says its market-based energy-derived greenhouse gas emissions were 10,997 t-CO2e, below its target of 11,428 t-CO2e. The company says this shows steady progress, although it also notes that some renewable fuel sources have not yet been identified in its reporting.

Built a sustainability structure

Mizuno says sustainability is overseen by its President and managed through a Sustainability Operations Council, also called the MIZUNO CREW21 Council. The council discusses policy, targets, action plans, and progress, then reports important issues to the Board of Directors. The company also says it has a CREW21 Environment Committee, a Risk Management Committee, and a Cross-departmental Products Committee to handle different ESG topics.

Published a sustainability report

Mizuno has a Sustainability Report 2025 on its corporate website. The report covers management strategy, material issues, climate change, human rights, supply chain management, product safety, labour practices, diversity, and governance. It also includes a GRI Content Index, which is a checklist showing how the report maps to the Global Reporting Initiative reporting standard.

Uses ISO 14001 sites

Mizuno says its main Japanese production site was the first in the sports industry to get ISO 14001 certification in 1997. ISO 14001 is an international standard for managing environmental impact. The company says the certification later expanded to other domestic and overseas sites, and that as of March 2025 the coverage rate was 74% for domestic sites and 26% for overseas sites, based on employee numbers.

Tracks supply chain emissions

Mizuno says it calculates Scope 3 emissions across its value chain using the GHG Protocol, a common greenhouse gas accounting method. It says Scope 3 made up 97.55% of its total emissions in fiscal year 2024. The company also says it is working with partners such as Sumitomo Warehouse to install LED lighting and is shifting transport between major logistics hubs in Japan to lower emissions.

Improved product packaging

Mizuno says it is reducing greenhouse gas emissions by changing packaging for baseball gloves. This is part of its wider effort to lower environmental impact across the product lifecycle, including product design, materials, manufacturing, packaging, and end-of-life treatment. The company also says it is working on lower-impact products in apparel, footwear, and equipment.
