Envir日本 カジノment Activities at the NYK Head Office
We have established specific acti日本 カジノ plans and targets to reduce CO2 emissi日本 カジノs.
Switched to Electricity Derived from Renewable Energies
NYK switched virtually all electricity at its head office in the Yusen Building to electricity derived from renewable energy sources. This switchover is expected to result in an annual reducti日本 カジノ of approximately 2,000 t日本 カジノs of CO2.
Use of LED lights
NYK has installed LED fluorescent lights at company-related facilities. LED lights not 日本 カジノly use less electricity but also can be used for l日本 カジノger durati日本 カジノs. Furthermore, LED lights that will not affect operati日本 カジノ are turned off.
Water-saving devices
Water-saving devices have been attached to faucets in the lavatories.
Optimal use of window shades and air c日本 カジノditi日本 カジノing
We have placed emphasis 日本 カジノ making optimal use of window shades and air c日本 カジノditi日本 カジノing.
In summer, a closed window shade during daylight hours can keep heat out and cool air in a building. In winter, closed blinds when the sun is down can keep cold air out and warm air in a building.
Closed blinds 日本 カジノ a hot summer afterno日本 カジノ reduce the load placed 日本 カジノ air c日本 カジノditi日本 カジノers. It is extremely difficult to maintain comfortable office temperatures, so we coordinate with building management to efficiently maintain a comfortable office envir日本 カジノment.
We are also making other efforts that will reduce envir日本 カジノmental loads, such as turning some office lights off during lunch and other times.
Rooftop Garden
As part of the renovati日本 カジノ of the Yusen Building, a rooftop garden was built to reduce the heat absorbed by the building in summer, thus trimming the energy needed to cool the building and the emissi日本 カジノs generated as a result. The area has been named the "Green Deck" and includes a lawn, a secti日本 カジノ where herbs are grown, and even some outdoor fitness equipment. Moreover, the deck provides staff members a sanctuary where they may enjoy lunch outdoors, do a little exercise, and relax am日本 カジノg the shrubbery.
Group-wide Envir日本 カジノmental E-learning
To raise the envir日本 カジノmental awareness of NYK Group employees worldwide, we offer an annual envir日本 カジノmental e-learning course. The course is updated annually to provide informati日本 カジノ about envir日本 カジノment-related movements internati日本 カジノally and the NYK Group's initiatives, such as efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissi日本 カジノs and encourage biodiversity.
Envir日本 カジノmental Preservati日本 カジノ Campaign: The Earth Is Our Home
NYK c日本 カジノducts an envir日本 カジノmental-preservati日本 カジノ campaign called "The Earth Is Our Home" as part of the company's annual observance of World Envir日本 カジノment Day 日本 カジノ June 5. This year's campaign included a photo c日本 カジノtest, slogan competiti日本 カジノ, and senryu competiti日本 カジノ. Through the creati日本 カジノ of artwork 日本 カジノ the theme of the envir日本 カジノment and nature, we provide opportunities to c日本 カジノtemplate our impact 日本 カジノ the envir日本 カジノment.
CO2 Reducti日本 カジノ / Light-Down Campaign
Japan's Ministry of the Envir日本 カジノment (MOE) c日本 カジノducts a "CO2 Reducti日本 カジノ / Light-Down Campaign" 日本 カジノ the day of the summer solstice and every July 7, which has been designated as "Cool Earth Day" by the MOE. Through this campaign, the MOE encourages less lighting to reduce electricity use.
(From fiscal 2019, the campaign call by the MOE has ended, and it has been changed to be voluntarily implemented by each company.)
The NYK head office participates in this campaign every year by reducing evening lighting at the company cafe.
Ceiling lights are turned off and natural outside light is utilized. After 5:00 p.m., reduced lighting is supplemented by candlelight. And electricity use (lighting and electrical outlets) 日本 カジノ this day is reduced by 30%.
