Yonex Introduces Off-Site PPA at Tokyo Factory to Advance Carbon Neutrality

TOKYO, Japan – Yonex Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that it has introduced renewable energy through an off-site Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) ^*1 in April 2025 at its Tokyo Factory, marking a significant step toward achieving carbon neutrality.

Yonex will receive renewable electricity from GLOBAL ENGINEERING Co., Ltd., an electricity retailer, and Reivalue, Inc., an intermediary operator, with Nagase & Co., Ltd. coordinating the overall initiative.

The renewable energy generated by a solar power plant (total solar panel capacity: 780.8 kW) will cover approximately 15% of Tokyo Factory’s electricity consumption, resulting in an estimated annual reduction of 290 tons of CO2 emissions^*2. 

This initiative aligns with the "Carbon Neutrality" pillar of the "Yonex Environmental Vision 2050." Yonex will continue to expand the use of renewable energy and promote efforts to advance carbon neutrality throughout its entire supply chain.

*1: Off-site PPA refers to the purchase of renewable electricity and its associated environmental value from power generation facilities, such as solar power plants, installed at locations outside the company’s premises.

*2: Based on Yonex research.

Yonex has established the “Yonex Environmental Vision 2050," which consists of three pillars: “Carbon Neutrality”, “Waste,” and “Eco-Design.” This vision includes our mid-term targets and action plans for 2030, aimed at achieving our vision for 2050. With the message, “To carry sport into the future, our craft and innovation must strive for bluer skies and greener fields", Yonex will continue to promote initiatives to help drive a future where people can continue to enjoy sports.
