We have set mid-to-long-term goals for the reduction of energy use and are pursuing the following initiatives to reduce the amount of energy we use.

・Analyze energy use through the utilization of a central monitoring system
・Continually inspect and repair existing facilities
・Proactively introduce environmentally friendly, energy-saving equipment
・Conserve energy by improving the production process

We have set mid-to-long-term goals for greenhouse gasses (GHG) reduction, and are pursuing the following initiatives to reduce GHG in Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3.
・Implement initiatives to reduce energy use (mentioned above)
・Introduce renewable energy
・Change to low-GHG-emitting types of fuel
・Change the type of refrigerant in fluorocarbon-using equipment
・Proactively procure ingredients with low GHG emissions
・Optimize and minimize the means of transportation and the number of deliveries
・Reduce waste of products and ingredients through close communication with customers
・Reduce GHG emissions from energy for the first half of fiscal 2022 by 5% (compared with the previous year)
・Reduce GHG emissions from energy in fiscal 2025 by 32% (compared with the previous year)

■ Tree-Planting Activity at Izu Oshima
In agreement with the principle of the Japan Nature and Culture Foundation of “contributing to the advancement of the public good and aiding regional revitalization and the succession to the next generation of culture, tradition and the environment by fostering conservation of Japan’s natural resources,” we are carrying out tree planting activities.
In Izu Oshima, we are conducting tree planting activities with the aim of revitalizing tourism in the area by making it famous for the Oshima cherry, establishing sustainable ways of using Oshima cherry trees, and continuously promoting the appeal of the Oshima cherry tree.
At the same time, by planting trees, we will also increase the amount of CO2 that is absorbed, contributing to measures against climate change.

■ Tree-Planting Activity at Mt. Tsukuba
On Saturday, September 27, 2025, we conducted a tree-planting activity at Mt. Tsukuba, located near our Tsukuba Office, under our own initiative with support from an NPO organization.
Forest development through the planting of broadleaf trees serves as a “green dam” that helps retain abundant water, prevents landslides, and contributes to the formation of a sustainable cycle by absorbing carbon dioxide and supplying oxygen.
We will continue to engage in tree-planting activities on an ongoing basis and actively promote initiatives that contribute to local communities and the conservation of the global environment.
