Efforts to Fight Climate Change and Decarbonization

• 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.
• In FY2024, we began calculating data for Scope 3 (indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and 2 [emissions from other companies related to our business activities]) in Japan and Scope 1 and 2 overseas.

Target: 70% reduction compared to FY2021 by the end of FY2031*

<*Calculated based on the following assumptions>

• Scope1 : All vehicles in the domestic bases are hybrid.
• Scope2 : All domestic bases use the renewably generated powers.

 

• Scope2 has been reduced by switching to renewable energy in FY2023 and will continue to be reduced.

Calculations for overseas offices will begin in FY2024.

 

    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 about 2 million kWh electricity per year. The switch reduces  CO_{2} emissions by about 740 tons per year.

 

 

 

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

    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.

 

• Percentage of company vehicles that are hybrids

               Target  77% (FY2031)

               Actual  6% (FY2022)  →  36% (FY2024)
