Aiming to create a “sustainable recycling-oriented society” that harmonizes the environment with the economy

Looking at the international economic situation during the fiscal year under review, the building and construction market recovery is lagging, while inflation slows in many countries and interest rates are cut. In addition, with ongoing tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East, Tariff Policy under the Trump Administration fueled concerns about the prospect of a recession and uncertainty about the outlook is further heightened.

In this situation, the Makita Group has focused on expanding its lineup of cordless

products, including power tools and outdoor power equipment in the durable high-power “40Vmax Lithium-ion Battery” (XGT) series.

With respect to production, we worked to optimize manufacturing processes and reduce costs and to expand initiatives at individual plants to other plants, thereby improving the efficiency of the Group as a whole.

We also work to increase the level of the community-based and customer-oriented service framework in order to further strengthen trusting relationships with customers around the world. We strive to deepen and develop the market centered on XGT series.

The impact of climate change on society, such as frequent wind and flood disasters, is becoming more serious, and companies are playing an increasingly important role in realizing a decarbonized society. We have identified contributing to a decarbonized society as a material issue that should be prioritized and are stepping up our efforts. Therefore, the Group is currently working on the realization of a decarbonized society by focusing on cordless outdoor power equipment that does not emit exhaust gases during use as the next pillar of our future business in addition to power tools. In addition, with the goal of reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we have set targets for reducing GHG emissions from our business activities (Scope 1 and 2) by 50% by FY2030 from the FY2020 level and to net zero by FY2040 and reducing GHG emissions from the entire supply chain (Scope 3) to net zero by FY2050.

During the fiscal year ended March 2025, photovoltaic panels were installed at Saitama logistics center and Hyogo branch in Japan and more photovoltaic panels were added to an existing system at U.K. plant, and we promoted the use of renewable energy.

We will continue to work on the use of renewable energy and energy conservation in our business activities to achieve GHG emission reduction targets.

“Environmental Report 2025” is published with the objective of presenting the Company’s initiatives for environmental protection activities. I hope this report helps your better understanding for our activities.

Long term Target: Strong Company

Makita has set itself the goal of contributing to the creation of sustainable society and consolidating a strong position in the industry worldwide as a global supplier of a comprehensive range of tools for creating comfortable homes and living environments, including cordless power tools, battery-operated outdoor power equipment and pneumatic tools.

1. As a global supplier of a comprehensive range of tools for creating comfortable homes and living environments, Makita will focus on solving environmental problems and other social issues through our main business, and work to achieve a sustainable society.

2. Makita aims to develop in harmony with society, by promoting corporate ethics and compliance, respect for human rights, protection of the environment, quality assurance, responsible procurement activities, etc. In particular, we consider carbon neutrality and other environmental problems to be issues of the highest importance.

3. Makita will engage in highly fair and transparent corporate management, thereby building strong relationships of trust with all our stakeholders.

SDGs stands for Sustainable Development Goals. SDGs is a global initiative aimed at resolving social issues and creating a bright future, and it consists of 17 goals and169 targets to be achieved by 2030.

Our company’s environmental protection activities are related to some of the goals of the SDGs. Therefore, through our commitment to environmental protection activities, we will contribute achieving SDGs.

As the effects of climate change on society, such as high winds and flooding, increase in frequency and severity, the role of companies in achieving decarbonization is becoming more important. Accordingly, we view climate change issues as a high-priority management challenge.

To this end, we are focusing on cordless outdoor power equipment (OPE) that does not emit exhaust gas during use and are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by striving to reach the goal of virtually eliminating GHG emissions from our operations by fiscal 2040 (FYE 2041)

Recognizing the importance of these efforts as well as engaging in dialogue with our stakeholders regarding the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on our business and other activities, we endorsed the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) in 2021

Rising demand for resources and energy and growing amounts of waste are becoming increasingly serious issues worldwide. In response, there is a global movement to transition from one-way economic and social activities to a circular economy that makes use of resources in sustainable ways. To achieve a circular economy, we are working toward a transition away from virgin resources and toward the sustainable procurement and use of renewable resources.

Specific activities of focus are shown below.

Downsizing, lightening and extending service life of products Reduction of single-use plastics in our products packing Introducing biomass plastic bags and recycled resin materials

Promotion of sustainable procurement of renewable resources in cooperation with business partners Promotion of recycling aimed at reducing waste at business sites

Promotion of used battery recycling

Reduction of discarded products through after-sales service and product design with consideration of repairability

Environmental Vision

The “Go Green” slogan symbolizes Makita’s commitment to continually providing new value as a comprehensive international supplier of tools. We hope to always remain as a company that maintains a steady eye on society, challenging ourselves to create a “sustainable recycling-oriented society” that harmonizes the environment with the economy.

Basic Principles

As a global supplier of a comprehensive range of tools for creating comfortable homes and living environments, Makita is aiming to conduct a wide range of environmental protection activities, in order to contribute to having sustainable society and conservation of biodiversity.

Policies

1. Enforcement of environmental administrative structure

   To conduct our business in an environmentally and friendly way, we will organize our environmental administrative structure on a global scale.

2. Continuous improvement and pollution prevention

   Makita will endeavor to continuously improve the quality of environmental protection activities and prevent from pollution.

3. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

   Makita will comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards concerning the environment. Moreover, Makita will take preventive action against environmental pollution, based on our environmental principle.

4. Establishment and review of objectives and aims

   Makita will endeavor to fully understand environmental impacts we may cause and periodically review the environmental objectives and goals within the technically and economically possible range.

5. Reduction of environmental burden

   Makita endeavors to promote the following activities to reduce environmental burden.

   • Reduction of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions by conservation of resources and energy.

   • Reduction of industrial waste and promotion of waste reuse.

   • Replacement from substance of environmental concern and emission control.

   • Implementation of product assessment and development of environment-conscious products centered around cordless products at the stage of tool design and development

6. Disclosure

Makita will make this environmental policy known to all of our employees through internal communication and will positively announce it to the public.

Topics

• Shifting from engine-powered to battery-powered

  In the past, the majority of OPE (Outdoor Power Equipment) was engine powered. However, while that provides superior power and stamina, the environmental impact of exhaust emissions has been a major issue. In recent years, global warming, which is one of the most serious environmental problems, has drawn particular attention from society. Our company is focusing on cordless OPE that do not emit exhaust gas when used, and contribute to solving environmental problems, particularly global warming.

  Our company will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society in the future by utilizing our battery and motor technologies cultivated through the manufacture of power tools, and accelerating shifting from engine-powered to battery-powered products by proactively developing and expanding sales of cordless products whose usability is comparable to that of engine-powered products.

• Sustainability Committee Established

  The role of corporations in achieving a decarbonized society is becoming increasingly important, and in 2021 we established a new Sustainability Committee chaired by the President to promote carbon neutrality. In addition to setting targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we will proceed with promoting initiatives to reduce emissions, including the use of renewable energy.

• Environmental Initiatives of Head Office, Okazaki plant and Logistics Centers

  We are continuously working to reduce GHG emissions by upgrading to LED lighting, improving the efficiency of air conditioning and compressors, and reducing air leakage in our plants. Last year, in addition to previous initiatives, we installed photovoltaic panels on Saitama logistics center and new distribution building of Okazaki plant. We plan to continue installing photovoltaic panels in Japan and overseas and to switch to renewable energy sources for the electricity used in our office and facilities. [The photo shows the Saitama logistics center]

• Environmental Initiatives of Sales Offices in Japan Photovoltaic panels are being progressively installed at our branches and sales offices in Japan, and installation has been completed at several sales offices.

  [The photo shows the Hyogo branch office]

• Environmental Initiatives of Overseas Plants

  We have plants in eight countries, and approximately 90% of our production volume is produced at our overseas locations. We are in the process of installing photovoltaic panels at plants overseas and will continue to install panels positively from now on.

• Environmental Initiatives of Overseas Sales Companies

  We have established directly managed sales offices in approximately 50 countries around the world and are engaged in activities such as installing photovoltaic panels.

  In FYE2025, photovoltaic panels were installed our sales subsidiary in Hungary and Finland. Going forward, we will continue to actively install them at other overseas sales companies.

  Our sales subsidiary in the Germany has completed construction of a geothermal heat pump in compliance with the new energy law in Germany, and the building, which was designed with energy conservation in mind, has a cooling and heating system that uses geothermal heat and lets in natural light. (Our sales subsidiary in the Netherlands is also making similar efforts.)

• Initiatives in the Supply Chain

  Carbon neutral initiatives including the installation of photovoltaic panels are also being promoted at the company’s suppliers.

• Using Environmentally Friendly Materials for Products and Packaging

  To contribute to carbon neutrality, in FYE 2022 we began switching from conventional to biomass plastic bags in our product packaging. To help reduce waste plastic across society, in addition to biomass materials, we considered introducing recycled resin materials and began to install a portion of bags and cases made from these materials in FYE 2024.

  Promoting the Elimination of Plastic

  MAKPAC case Type2 (A-60517)

  By using recycled resin materials, we reduced the amount of raw materials

  used as well as GHG emissions.

  Due to concern about global environmental pollution in the form of plastic waste in the oceans and amid social efforts to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics, we are working to cut back on the volume of single-use plastics in our product packaging and thereby contribute to the realization of a sustainable society and the preservation of biodiversity. In addition to simplifying packaging, from FYE 2021, we have been reducing the use of plastic bags by devising better packaging materials. We plan to promote the elimination of plastic even further from now on, but when we use plastic due to changes in needs in association with the times, we will also promote activities that increase the rate of inclusion of recycled materials.

  Environmental Management System

  Environmental Management Promotion Framework

  Recognizing environmental protection activities as a high-priority management challenge, we promote Environmental Management with the following framework.

  Internal Environmental Auditors

We have the Environmental Management Committee as a body for deliberating and deciding on environmental protection activities. Environmental Management Director oversees this committee. We have also established one committee and five subcommittees under the umbrella of this committee, which promote specific environmental activities.

  Our Commitment to Creating Environmentally Conscious Products

  Development of Environmentally Conscious Products

• Development of Products including New Environmental Technologies

  We are working to reduce the size and weight of our products as a whole, as well as to increase their power and life by increasing the capacity of new technology motors (the DC brushless motor) and batteries, improving motor efficiency, and reducing the size and weight of power components that affect the mass of products. Furthermore, by utilizing our industry-leading battery charge and discharge technology and motor technology to promote manufacturing various rechargeable products (cordless and engineless products), we are contributing to improving user safety, convenience, and comfort, as well as reducing exhaust gas, noise, and fuel consumption. The 40Vmax series is one of the most important and powerful platforms for the future, which will further allow us to make various products cordless.

• Publication of Product Environmental Data Sheets

  Since FYE 2011, we have been publishing quantitative data of the environmental performance of each of our products (product weight, noise level, the percentage of reusability and recyclability, renewable rate, efficiency, etc.) on our website, in order to give a better understanding of the environmental performance of our products.

  Green Procurement

• Supply Chain Management

  In order to review the status of environmental activities of our suppliers, we conduct a questionnaire survey on environmental protection activities to our suppliers (e.g., to check whether they have acquired an environmental management system certification and review specific plants subject to laws and regulations).

• Compliance with Overseas Environmental Laws and Regulations (RoHS, REACH) Substances regulated by environmental laws and regulations are defined as Makita Prohibited and Controlled Chemical Substances. In order to ensure compliance with the European RoHS Directive, we control chemical substances to conform to the RoHS Directive.

  In order to ensure compliance with the European REACH regulations, we continuously issue a survey to our suppliers to obtain information on chemical substance content because substances of very high concern (SVHC) are regularly added to the list.

high-power brushless motor.

• Solving the Labor Shortage and Improving the Working Environment

  Japan’s agriculture is facing a serious labor shortage due to heavy labor and the aging population. It is said that 60% of agricultural work involves carrying tasks, and the wheelbarrow used for carrying loads strain the shoulders and back due to uneven surfaces. There are engine-powered transport vehicles, but you sometimes need to worry about the noise when using them early in the morning, and they take a long time to start up, need fuel (e.g., gasoline) to run, and generate exhaust gas emissions.

  On the other hand, the CU180D battery powered wheelbarrow is powered by an 18V battery, which is a standard battery for other cordless tools. As it can be used in the same way as a wheelbarrow and is motor assisted, even elderly people and women can carry heavy loads with less power.

  Both the CU601D and CU602D rechargeable transporters with a battery-powered cargo bed for raising and lowering were added to the lineup from 2023.

  Related SDGs

  Due to global warming, extremely hot days are increasing, and working in a hot environment increases strain on the body and the risk of heat stroke.

  Related SDGs

  The cordless fan jacket is a jacket with small fans that circulate air through the jacket to dry sweat and cool the body with the heat of vaporization. This is an item for preventing heat and can be used in places like outdoors where air conditioners or fans cannot be used.

  Cleaning large areas, such as offices, stores, and warehouses, requires manpower. In addition, in factories where manufacturing machines are lined up, there are many areas that cannot be cleaned manually unless the machines are stopped for safety.

  The robotic cleaner can automatically clean areas that require cleaning by, for example, doing work that requires bending over, which puts a strain on the back, and in very large areas. There is no need to turn on lights for cleaning or stop machines because people do not go near the manufacturing machines.

• Disaster Preparedness

  < Disaster Prevention Combo Kit >

  Related SDGs

  In recent years, due to frequent natural disasters caused by global warming, cordless products have attracted attention in terms of early recovery from disasters and disaster preparedness. Our disaster prevention combo kit, which is useful in case of a disaster, includes in the package a light needed in case of a power failure at night, a radio and a television to obtain correct information, and a battery and charger. It also includes a light that can charge a smartphone by connecting a USB cord.

  ·Changing firefighting and disaster reconstruction products from engines to charging

  These products have good starting performance, can be turned on and used quickly with one touch and can be used anywhere, including indoors or underground, because they emit no exhaust gas. Unlike engine-powered products, these products are not affected by the environment of use and can always work at high power even if there is a lack of oxygen. Because they do not require fuel, maintenance is easy, batteries can be replaced quickly, and they help a quick response at times of disaster.

  Related SDGs

• Sustainable Society

In the past, most chainsaws and mowers used outdoors were engine powered. Engine-powered products are powerful and can be used for many hours, but because they generate exhaust gas emissions and noise, there are time and locational constraints on using them, and they are not easy to use because they need gasoline. The cordless OPE is an environmentally friendly product for workers and the environment, including animals and plants, because it can be used just like an engine-powered product, is low noise, and does not generate exhaust gas emissions.

With reference to the international standards for calculating greenhouse gas emissions “GHG Protocol”, we calculated GHG emissions from our business activities (Scope 1 and 2) and GHG emissions from other companies related to our business activities (Scope 3).

As emissions in Category 11 (Use of Sold Products) account for approximately 43% of total emissions across the entire supply chain, we will focus on developing environmentally conscious products.

In order to promote the four environmental impact reduction initiatives, which are set out in the Environmental Policy, namely preventing global warming, promoting waste reduction and recycling, substitution and emission control of substances with environmental impact, and providing environmentally conscious products, we implement activities based on the Environmental Action Plan.

Environmental Action Plan

The Makita Group has set goals to reduce GHG emissions from its own business activities (Scope 1 and 2) to virtually zero by fiscal 2040 (FYE 2041) and from its entire supply chain (Scope 3) to virtually zero by fiscal 2050 (FYE 2051). The mid-term target for Scope 1 and 2 is to halve the fiscal 2020 (FYE 2021) level by fiscal 2030 (FYE 2031).

  Our Commitment to Preventing Environmental Risks

• Compliance with Environmental Regulations

  In FYE 2025, there were no major revisions to environmental laws and regulations related to our company. Our company complies with environmental laws and regulations. And we did not receive any environment-related complaints.

  In July 2024, an accident occurred in which foam was released from temporary treatment facilities at Okazaki Plant. We submitted an accident report to the authorities and related organizations and implemented improvement measures.

• PCB Waste Management and Handling

  In FYE 2025, our company do not have any stored PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) waste.

  In the future, we will systematically dispose of low-concentration PCB-contaminated waste electrical equipment that is generated when transformers and other power receiving equipment are upgraded.

• Conservation of Biodiversity

Our company is committed to conserving biodiversity company-wide by incorporating the phrase “aiming to conduct a wide range of environmental protection activities, in order to contribute to conservation of biodiversity” in the basic principles of our Environmental Policy.

We basically believe that all our environmental activities, including those aimed at reducing the environmental impact of our business activities by, for example, preventing global warming and reducing waste, lead to the conservation of biodiversity, and we promote such activities. Specific examples of such activities include promoting the greening of plant sites and making our water quality standards on water discharged into public water area stricter than laws and ordinances.

In addition, the Okazaki Plant's new distribution building, completed in 2021, is planted with indigenous species such as benthamidia japonica, machilus thunbergii, prunus yedoensis, weeping cherry, rhododendron indicum, and podocarpus macrophyllus.
