Environmental Efforts

Reducing CO2 emissions through the promotion of green energy

Renewable energy exists in nature and can be used repeatedly. We are developing, operating, and managing renewable energy power stations and generating electricity with them in an integrated manner. We will reduce CO2 emissions through the expansion of our green energy business.

Issuance of Green Bonds

We issue Green Bonds, which are used exclusively to fund environmental activities. We are accelerating the promotion of renewable energy businesses and at the same time offering many people opportunities to invest in environmentally conscious business activities.

Hosting environmental education programs and hands-on workshops

We have renewable energy workshops (Energy Education) at our regional offices nationwide. These workshops are targeted mainly at third and fourth grade elementary school students. It provides an opportunity for students to raise their interest in the environment and awareness of environmental issues while learning how electricity is generated by renewable energy. With our “Hands-on Energy Education,” where people visit solar power stations, we offer visitors the opportunity to see what solar power stations are like by explaining each facility and showing aerial images taken by drones.

Support for environmental conservation activities (Medaka no Gakko [rice-fish culture program])

We, alongside local residents, participate in “Medaka no Gakko [rice-fish culture program]” in Ichinoseki City, Iwate, to support this activity. This activity offers an environmentally friendly farming model that strikes a good balance between the preservation of Oryzias latipes, which are a threatened species, and the development of rice paddies.

Participation in GX League

The “GX League” is a platform where companies actively working towards achieving carbon neutrality collaborate with the government, academia, and financial institutions which are undertaking similar initiatives. It serves as a place for discussion on transforming economic and social systems and for practical efforts aimed at creating new markets. Through our participation in the GX League, our company will contribute towards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of rgreen energy, striving towards the realization of a decarbonized society.
