SUSTAINABILITY

In August 2021, we announced our endorsement of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). In addition to deepening our examination of climate-related risks and opportunities, we will work to expand our business and improve the accuracy of our analysis, with the aim of realizing a decarbonized society.

From November 2021, companies seeking to decarbonize their businesses will be able to directly purchase FIT Non-Fossil Certificates, which were previously a type of renewable origin certificate that could only be purchased by electricity retailers. In response to the growing needs of the real estate industry and other industrires related to the greening of electricity, we are supporting decarbonization through a variety of measures including the sale of these FIT Non-Fossil Certificates with Tracking.

In December 2019, we established the Japan Energy Fund, an overseas-focused decarbonized energy fund, with the aim of realizing a sustainable society by promoting decarbonized energy investments overseas. The fund invests in renewable energy projects in emerging countries and actively invests in energy venture companies with advanced technologies in Europe and the United States.

For household customers, we have implemented a filtering function on the electricity and gas comparison site, “ENECHANGE,” to easily select power companies that offer tariffs with a de facto 100% renewable energy plan.

For corporate customers, we are expanding our ENECHANGE Biz lineup by strengthening our partnerships with power companies that offer renewable energy.

We are providing “ENECHANGE Cloud EV” and “EVsmart.net” to improve convenience for EV users and support service enhancement for EV-related businesses, in line with the spread of electric vehicles (EVs) aimed at realizing a decarbonized society.

At our headquarters office in Toranomon 30 Mori Building, we are using renewable energy to power the building in order to contribute to urban decarbonization. We are also engaged in energy-saving activities, such as turning off lights in unused office spaces
