Climate Change Response

In order to contribute to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, an international framework, we have set our own goals to address climate change and will actively take initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through our business.

In addition to reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions from our own activities, we will achieve this by providing a wide range of services that contribute to reducing environmental impact through our proprietary technologies, thereby increasing the effectiveness of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in society as a whole.

Governance Structure

We have established the Sustainability Promotion Committee as an organization to evaluate and monitor our policies and initiatives to achieve our climate change-related goals. The CEO and other members of management are involved in the development of climate change strategies and report their efforts to the Board of Directors.

Environmental Management System (EMS)

Environmental Initiatives

We have introduced an Environmental Management System (EMS) as part of our environmental efforts.
The EMS assesses the environmental impact of an organization's activities and contributes to reducing environmental impact and protecting the environment.
In order to continuously work on the EMS, we established the EMS executive office to conduct and manage the EMS by implementing the PDCA cycle.

Acquisition of ISO 14001 Certification

We obtained ISO14001 certification, an international standard for EMS, on May 8, 2020, and are operating the system.

Environmental Targets

We have identified elements of our business activities that have a significant impact on the environment and will take the following actions from March 2022 to February 2023:

Expanding Beneficial Environmental Impact
1. Continue to provide value that supports customers' and partners' promotion of digital transformation (DX).	Promote WingArc1st products, services, and solutions
2. Purchase of green products for office supplies	The percentage of green products purchased for office supplies is to be maintained (or increased)
Reducing Harmful Environmental Impact
3. Reduction of electricity consumption	Annual electricity consumption at the head office (including the server room) is to be 100% less than it was the previous year.
4. Reduction of copy paper used	Number of sheets used per person is to be 100% less than it was the previous year.

Introduction of Green Power

The electricity used at the head office is renewable energy. (*)

• (*) By purchasing "FIT Non-Fossil Certificate with Tracking" and "Renewable Energy Designated Non-FIT Non-Fossil Certificate", the electricity used is regarded as real renewable energy.

Since renewable energy is also an important resource, we will continue to aim to reduce electricity consumption, and will gradually switch to renewable energy sources in regions other than the head office, starting with those that can handle them, to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
