Integrated Scenario Analyses and Assessments of Climate- and Nature-related Risks and Opportunities

The Kirin Group Environmental Report 2026 presents updated climate-related scenarios and newly developed nature-related scenarios. By integrating both, the Kirin Group comprehensively identifies related environmental issues and uses the analyses to assess risks and opportunities for its businesses, as well as their financial impacts. The report also covers the establishment of FLAG targets*1, water and land-use risk assessments based on the SBTs for Nature*2 methodology, and assessments of biological resources in line with the TNFD*3 LEAP approach*4. Please see below for details.
