Regarding the impact of climate change related risks and profit opportunities on our business activities and earnings, we recognize that the risks related to climate change that directly affect our business activities and financial planning are low. However, in accordance with the environmental policy mentioned above, we are working to reduce environmental impact and preserve the environment through our business activities.

The General Affairs Office, which has jurisdiction over sustainability activities including climate change, gives instructions to identify risks and opportunities related to relevant internal departments and Group companies, identifies risks, and reports to the Sustainability Committee.

Metrics and targets

The Company are continuously working to reduce the environmental impact in accordance with the environmental management system based on the ISO14001standard. In 2021, we relocated our headquarters under the concept of ABW (Activity Based Working). As a result, the improvement of the workplace has progressed, and the effect of reducing electric power consumption and CO2 emissions has appeared. The CO2 emissions calculated by multiplying by the emission factor are as follows. The goal of our efforts is to reduce usage and emissions compared to the previous year.

 

In addition, as part of our work style reforms, we are working to reduce paper use compared to the previous year by digitizing internal procedures and promoting electronic contracts so that back office operations can be completed without having to come to work. Changes in the amount of paper used are as follows
