The Group is going to create added value for customers and society through its business activities.

In October 2020, the Japanese government declared that it would strive to achieve carbon neutrality, which requires net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, by 2050.

 

"Net-zero emissions" means subtracting absorptions of greenhouse gases including CO2 through forestation and forest management from their emissions to make the total zero in effect.
To achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to conserve and reinforce the absorption effect.

 

The CRESCO Group also intends to make efforts to help change awareness and promote actions by showing externally and internally that the Group is going to take actions to realize a decarbonized society and display a positive attitude toward the solution of relevant issues together with its employees and the society including customers.

 

Because the greatest negative impact (on CO2 reduction and environment) of the CRESCO Group's operations is found with power consumption and paper consumption due to photocopying and other activities, the Group is working to save power and electricity and promote paperless operations.These efforts also lead to more efficient energy use and cost reduction in system development. Changes in power consumption and the number of paper purchases are shown below.
