|---|---|---|
| Total emissions (tCo2e) | 1,182 | 686 |

Active efforts to reduce greenhouse gases (Scope 1 and 2)
To contribute to the realization of a sustainable society, our group recognizes addressing climate change-related issues as a top priority. Taking into account both opportunities and risks anticipated from a long-term perspective, we are committed to advancing our efforts to tackle climate change challenges. Referring to the Science Based Targets (SBT) framework, we have established medium- to long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to manage climate-related risks and opportunities. Specifically, we aim to reduce GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 42% by fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2023 as the base year.Looking ahead, we will actively work to further reduce GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) through measures such as adopting renewable energy-derived electricity, while also enhancing our understanding of GHG emissions across Scope 3.
⑩ Initiatives for nature conservation
Conservation of the camellia of Goto

Nature conservation through the planting of camellia trees on our own farm
The group company “Goto no Tsubaki Inc.” owns a 4-hectare farm on the Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture, where it manages 10,000 camellia trees. By working on the planning, production and sales of camellia-derived skincare products and food, the company is working to maintain the camellia, an important resource for the island.At our own farm, we are working to preserve the camellia of Goto, plant camellia trees on the farm, and promote planting by distributing camellia seedlings. We are not only maintaining and managing the existing camellia trees, but are also actively promoting new planting in order to pass on the rich nature of the Goto Islands to the next generation.
⑪ Maintenance and preservation of water resources
Preservation of water resources and reduction of wastewater volume through fine bubbles

Preservation of water resources and reduction of CO2 emissions in society
The cumulative total of fine bubble shower heads with water-saving functions shipped has exceeded 2 million units. When using the latest model, Fine Bubble U,*1 there is an approximately 30% water-saving effect compared to a normal shower, and this also leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions as gas usage is also reduced. If all the Fine Bubble showers that have been shipped to date are used in each household, the water-saving effect will be equivalent to more than 130,000 swimming pools in one year*2. We will continue to work towards water resource conservation and CO2 emissions reduction through the spread of Fine Bubble showers. We have also been actively disseminating information as a full member (board member company) of the Fine Bubble Industry Association (FBIA) since its establishment, and have contributed to the recognition of fine bubble technology. As a FBIA member company, we have also established a website to disseminate the possibilities and appeal of fine bubble technology, with the hope of having more stakeholders become aware of the power of fine bubbles*3 and contributing to the realization of more vibrant lives for people. We are not only developing products that utilize this technology, but are also actively disseminating information through this website.
