Environmental Management Performance and Future Targets (HEPCO Group)

In accordance with the HEPCO Group Environmental Policy, we have set environmental management items that constitute specific initiatives to reduce the burden that we place on the environment in various business sectors. Each fiscal year, targets are set for these environmental management items and our progress and results assessed, which are then fed back into planned and continuing efforts. In FY2024, we specified target levels for office electricity and water usage as well as the emissions intensity per 1kWh for SOX (sulfur oxide) and NOX (nitrogen oxide), for which qualitative targets had previously been set. We decided that quantitatively presenting targets helps build stronger awareness among employees and enables us to objectively measure the degree of achievement.

  1. *1Calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accounting, Reporting, and Disclosure System pursuant to the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures.
  2. *2Values reflect adjustments and other corrections associated with CO2 credits, nonfossil fuel value certification purchases, and Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) for renewable energy sources.
  3. *3Industrial waste generated by the HEPCO Group.
  4. *4Figure does not include power station and substation power consumption, transmission/ distribution loss, or other electric power used when supplying electricity.
  5. *5Target items: The procurement rate is indicated for environmentally-friendly copy paper, printed materials (excluding flyers, posters and pamphlets), OA equipment and clothing products which vendors publish in their catalogs or other such publications. Copy paper is only counted for HEPCO Group companies.
