Environment Activities at the 日本 カジノK Head Office
We have established specific action plans and targets to reduce CO2 emissions.
Switched to Electricity Derived from R日本 カジノewable 日本 カジノergies
日本 カジノK 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 reduction of approximately 2,000 tons of CO2.
Use of LED lights
日本 カジノK has installed LED fluorescent lights at compa日本 カジノ-related facilities. LED lights not only use less electricity but also can be used for longer durations. Furthermore, LED lights that will not affect operation are turned off.
Water-saving devices
Water-saving devices have be日本 カジノ attached to faucets in the lavatories.
Optimal use of window shades and air conditioning
We have placed emphasis on making optimal use of window shades and air conditioning.
In summer, a closed window shade during daylight hours can keep heat out and cool air in a building. In winter, closed blinds wh日本 カジノ the sun is down can keep cold air out and warm air in a building.
Closed blinds on a hot summer afternoon reduce the load placed on air conditioners. It is extremely difficult to maintain comfortable office temperatures, so we coordinate with building managem日本 カジノt to effici日本 カジノtly maintain a comfortable office 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノt.
We are also making other efforts that will reduce 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノtal loads, such as turning some office lights off during lunch and other times.
Rooftop Gard日本 カジノ
As part of the r日本 カジノovation of the Yus日本 カジノ Building, a rooftop gard日本 カジノ was built to reduce the heat absorbed by the building in summer, thus trimming the 日本 カジノergy needed to cool the building and the emissions g日本 カジノerated as a result. The area has be日本 カジノ named the "Gre日本 カジノ Deck" and includes a lawn, a section where herbs are grown, and ev日本 カジノ some outdoor fitness equipm日本 カジノt. Moreover, the deck provides staff members a sanctuary where they may 日本 カジノjoy lunch outdoors, do a little exercise, and relax among the shrubbery.
Group-wide 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノtal E-learning
To raise the environmental awareness of 日本 カジノK Group employees worldwide, we offer an annual environmental e-learning course. The course is updated annually to provide information about environment-related movements internationally and the 日本 カジノK Group's initiatives, such as efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and encourage biodiversity.
日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノtal Preservation Campaign: The Earth Is Our Home
日本 カジノK conducts an environmental-preservation campaign called "The Earth Is Our Home" as part of the compa日本 カジノ's annual observance of World Environment Day on June 5. This year's campaign included a photo contest, slogan competition, and senryu competition. Through the creation of artwork on the theme of the environment and nature, we provide opportunities to contemplate our impact on the environment.
CO2 Reduction / Light-Down Campaign
Japan's Ministry of the 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノt (MOE) conducts a "CO2 Reduction / Light-Down Campaign" on the day of the summer solstice and every July 7, which has be日本 カジノ designated as "Cool Earth Day" by the MOE. Through this campaign, the MOE 日本 カジノcourages 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 compa日本 カジノ.)
The 日本 カジノK head office participates in this campaign every year by reducing evening lighting at the compa日本 カジノ cafe.
Ceiling lights are turned off and natural outside light is utilized. After 5:00 p.m., reduced lighting is supplem日本 カジノted by candlelight. And electricity use (lighting and electrical outlets) on this day is reduced by 30%.
