Environmental Vision 2050

<Environmental Vision 2050>

  • We will reform the way we work to lower our electricity and paper consumption, reducing our ecological footprint and thus contributing to the development of a sustainable society.
  • Through the use of our company’s tools, we will empower other companies to reform their own way of working, and lower their electricity and paper consumption, thus helping reduce their ecological footprint.

〈Environmental Target〉 *2020 as base year

  • Power usage and CO2 emissions｜Reduce consumption per employee by 50% by 2050 (reducing by 30% by 2030)
  • Waste discharge (paper usage)｜Reduce consumption per employee by 50% by 2050 (reducing by 30% by 2030)

Environmental Goals 2025

To reduce our business activities' environmental impact, we are working on setting goals that target the office environment, such as electricity, waste emissions, and paper purchases. Backcasting from our long-term environmental vision, we have set the following targets for our environmental activities between FY2020 to FY2025.

Item Reduction target
Power usage Overall emissions will not be increased based on FY2020, and per capita, paper usage will be reduced by 25% in the five years up to FY2025.
Waste discharge (paper usage) Overall paper usage will not be increased based on FY2020, and per capita emissions will be reduced by 25% in the five years up to FY2025.

* As for waste emissions, we can only grasp the entire tenant building's quantity, therefore we have set a reduction target using our office paper usage as an alternative index to waste emissions.

Climate Change Initiatives

We believe that it is a corporate responsibility and an important management issue to transition to a carbon-free society and to mitigate climate variability- which poses a threat to humans and other organisms. We will contribute to these changes by reducing greenhouse gases by reducing our energy consumptions in our offices.

Air conditioning

  • Reducing the extensive use of air conditioning ⇒ Efforts to reduce usage by installing fans, etc. on each floor.

PC / OA equipment

  • Turning off the power of unused PCs and office automation equipment. Turning off all PCs and OA equipment when leaving the office.
  • Setting the screen saver to less than 10 minutes.
  • Setting the energy saving mode for PC as possible.
  • Turning off the PC display when shut down the PC.

Lights

  • Turning off the lights in unused conference rooms and employee's lounge.
