As one of the materialities (important issues), we will identify the reduction of environmental impact and actively work on the control and reduction of CO₂ emissions. In addition, we will actively work to improve, reduce, and curb energy use as one measure to promote CO₂ reduction.

We strive to reduce CO₂ emissions through the efficient use of energy in our domestic business activities. By switching to energy-efficient equipment, we aim to reduce energy consumption and reduce Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions as follows compared to 2013.

・Target fiscal year 2026 23% reduction
・Target fiscal year 2030 46% reduction

We use refrigeration and freezer equipment to store cargo requiring low temperature management.
Refrigeration and freezer equipment requires CFC gas coolant. In addition to periodic equipment inspections, we perform equipment maintenance and repairs in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Rational Use and Proper Management of Fluorocarbons. We also submit annual records of these activities and reports on leak volumes to the relevant authorities.

We promote eco-friendly driving in accordance with our Rules on Environmental Protection. At all of our branch offices in Japan, one individual is appointed to promote eco-friendly driving efforts. This individual administers training and guidance on eco-friendly driving when employees need to drive company vehicles and checks tachographs to manage and supervise driving.

As one measure to help prevent global warming, we purchase vehicles characterized by low levels of pollution and fuel consumption.

We implement the Cool Biz and Warm Biz activities recommended by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan to encourage employees to wear clothing that will help us reduce energy use. We set office thermostats to roughly 28°C during the summer months (May-September) and to 20°C in the winter months (November-March).
We also stagger lighting to the extent not to impede business operations and shut off lights in rooms that are not in use and during lunch breaks.

We're making steady progress toward switching to LED lighting in our offices and warehouses to conserve energy and reduce CO₂emissions.

We have solar power generation facilities (capacity: 2.95 MkW) on the rooftops of our warehouses and on land we own, which generated approximately 34 million kWh in FY2023.
