Reduction of CO2 Emissions

  • We aim at reducing the total of Scope 1 and 2 in Japan by 70% at the end of FY2031 compared to FY2021 levels. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from in-house fuel use. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from electric power we buy and heat.

 

Target: 70% reduction

compared to FY2021 by the end of FY2031*

 

<*Calculated based on the following assumptions>

  • Electricity: All domestic bases use the renewably generated powers.
  • Vehicles: All vehicles in the domestic bases are hybrid.

CO2 emissions in Japan

FY2019 FY2020 FY2021 FY2022 FY2023
Scope1 (gasoline) 538 511 455 479 492
Scope2 (electricity) 769 755 742 650 2
(t-CO2/year)
  • Electricity has been reduced by switching to renewable energy in FY2023 and will continue to be reduced.

Switching to Electricity Derived from Renewable Energies

    YUSHIN has switched all of power consumption at the headquarters/Technical Center and the regional sales offices directly contracted with power supply companies, to renewably generated powers since April 2022. This is achieved by purchasing the renewable powers and using the solar power generated on site. The facilities consume 2 million kWh electricity per year. The switch reduces  CO_{2} emissions by 740 tons per year.

The panels generate as much power as the branch office requires where the renewable energy is not available.

Gradual Transition to Environmentally Friendly Vehicle (Hybrid Vehicles)

    In March 2022, we have decided to gradually switch to environmentally friendly vehicles (hybrid vehicles). We will promote further environmental friendliness through the active introduction of hybrid vehicles and our existing efforts to promote eco-driving.
