Realizing a decarbonized society

To reduce the environmental impact of our business activities, we have introduced environmental accounting based on the "Environmental Accounting Guidelines 2005" issued by the Ministry of the Environment, which will allow us to quantitatively understand the costs and effects of our environmental conservation activities.

Saitama Prefecture Ordinance on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (Targeted Emissions Trading System: 3rd Plan Period/FY2020-FY2024)

To reduce electricity consumption and CO2 emissions, we are working within the company to do what we can in our immediate surroundings. As a specified business operator under the Energy Conservation Act, we are working to reduce electricity consumption by 1% or more per year. In addition, as a site subject to the Saitama Prefectural Ordinance on the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming and Targeted Emissions Transaction System, we are actively working to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

We are promoting company-wide energy conservation through casual biz, reducing the air conditioning load by applying light-shielding film to the windows of the head office building, reducing the use of ceiling lights and turning off lights, switching to LED lighting in our own buildings, and setting office equipment to energy-saving mode.
In addition to promoting the use of eco-cars in company vehicles, efforts are being made to reduce CO2 emissions by reducing the total number of company vehicles, reducing the amount of petrol used, and reducing mileage by promoting online sales.

In 2017, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) published its recommendations, calling for companies to disclose their understanding of climate change risks and opportunities, as well as their strategies for alignment. In Japan, the importance of disclosing non-financial information aligned with the TCFD recommendations was further emphasized in the Corporate Governance Code. Recognizing the significance of climate-related financial disclosures, our company supports the TCFD recommendations and is actively working towards disclosing information in line with the TCFD's recommended areas of "Governance", "Strategy", "Risk Management", and "Metrics and Targets" concerning climate-related risks and opportunities.
