TOYOKAWA―November 20, 2024―OSG Corporation today announced the launch of Gtag, a low carbon product series. As concerns for environmental sustainability continue to grow, efforts for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in manufacturing operations, value chains and processes are becoming increasingly prominent. The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol is a widely accepted standard used for categorizing emissions into three different scopes: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Scope 1 emissions are GHGs released directly from a business. Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHGs released from the energy purchased by an organization. Scope 3 emissions are value chain emissions that are not owned or controlled by the reporting organization. This classification of emissions is used to monitor progress toward the reduction of GHGs globally.
OSG recognizes that the preservation of the global environment is a fundamental obligation and is actively proposing initiatives that can be implemented from cutting tools toward a sustainable society. OSG continuously innovates to provide products with longer tool life and higher machining efficiency that can lead to reductions in Scope 2 emissions for its customers. In addition, OSG has introduced Gtag, a low carbon product series that reduces CO2 emissions by minimizing power consumption during manufacturing through the adoption of a new and unique manufacturing method, which corresponds to Scope 3 emissions for its customers.

The Gtag series is currently comprised of the GRT high-performance and low-carbon forming tap, the AD-2D Gtag low-carbon carbide drill, and the AE-VMS Gtag low-carbon anti-vibration short carbide end mill. By simply selecting the Gtag series, manufacturers can contribute to reducing GHG emissions throughout the supply chain. In addition to reducing CO2 emitted during production, choosing low carbon products leads to the realization of carbon neutrality.
