Initiatives by Company

We are committed to reducing GHG emissions at each of our business locations. These initiatives are implemented using optimal methods tailored to regional characteristics. Specifically, we focus on improving energy efficiency, introducing renewable energy, reducing waste, and enhancing logistics efficiency. Activities at each site are monitored under the governance framework of the ESG Committee. Through these efforts, we aim to accelerate Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions and contribute to Scope 3 reductions in the future.

In Northeast Asia, we are systematically promoting the introduction of LED lighting, electrification of vehicles, use of alternative fuels to diesel, and adoption of renewable energy. In the fiscal year ending March 2025, Musashino Paper Recycling Co., Ltd, a Group company, switched its annual electricity consumption of 750,299 kWh entirely to renewable energy, achieving a reduction in Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, starting in the fiscal year ending March 2026, the Tokyo headquarters of Kokusai Pulp & Paper will also adopt 100% renewable energy, accelerating decarbonization across the Group.

We are promoting the introduction of LED lighting, use of river transport to improve logistics efficiency, electrification of vehicles, and adoption of renewable energy in various regions. In the fiscal year ending March 2025, Antalis Switzerland began operating a new solar power system. This facility is one of the largest parking deck-type solar power systems in the region, generating approximately 378,000 kWh annually on average.

In Oceania, we are advancing the introduction of LED lighting, electrification of vehicles, and adoption of renewable energy. Additionally, we are promoting carbon offset initiatives in collaboration with Greenfleet in Australia and Toit in New Zealand, contributing not only to Scope 1 and 2 reductions but also to Scope 3 reductions.
