ENVIRONMENT

1. Contribution to the Decarbonization of Society through Sustainable Energy

We contribute to the mitigation of climate change and decarbonization of society by generating sustainable energy. We set specific targets for the reduction of energy generation-related greenhouse gas emissions and work towards their achievement.

2. Consideration for Local Environment

We recognize that the development and operation of sustainable energy plants may have an impact on the surrounding natural environment and ecosystems. We will assess our impact on biodiversity, as well as the environmental impact of our operations in terms of effluence, water intake, emissions and noise, and manage any negative impacts appropriately.

3. Efficient use of Energy and Resources

We are committed to the efficient use of energy (e.g. fuel) and resources (e.g. water and materials) consumed in the development and operation of our powerplants. We reduce the amount of waste generated as much as possible by reusing and recycling.

4. Improving Resilience to Climate Change and Disasters

We aim to identify and address the risks and opportunities associated with climate change. Specifically, we will work to strengthen our resilience by addressing the physical disaster risks to our power plant facilities, as well as adapting to local characteristics. We also aim to build micro-grids which will create resilience during large-scale power outages caused by disaster and improve energy storage capabilities.

SOCIETY
