We aim to increase our corporate value and solve social issues simultaneously. Therefore, with respect to key performance indicators (KPIs) / targets, we are addressing to achieve both financial and non-financial aspects with the same amount of importance. Major Non-Financial Information, Non-financial information KPIs / targets and results, are shown below.
Figures marked with “†” have been guaranteed by an independent assurance provider for the items included in our Integrated Report. For FY2024 results, we received assurance from an independent assurance provider concerning the following items listed in Integrated Report: greenhouse gas emissions Scope1, greenhouse gas emissions Scope2, greenhouse gas emissions Scope3 (Total, Category 13); waste disposal; water intake (water consumption); percentage of employees who received medical checkups; and usage rate of paid leave. We will continue to disclose information on the progress of our sustainability initiatives to the stakeholders while strive to improve disclosure quality using PDCA cycle.
Results for KPIs are shown from the year they were set as KPIs and indicated as a "—(dash)" for earlier years.
Major Non-Financial Information
- *1We are calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on the GHG Protocol. Calculations for Scopes1 and 2 are based on the properties where the Hulic Group occupies or manages business operations (36 properties in FY2020, 41 properties in FY2021, 40 properties in FY2022, 48 properties in FY2023, and 262 properties in FY2024). In addition, properties held at the end of term are subject to the calculation (Properties acquired during the reporting year for the period from the acquisition date to the end of the term are included). In FY 2024, the number of properties increased compared to the previous year due to the implementation of M&A during the period. The unit calorific values and the emission factors are based on values in the Act on the Rational Use of Energy and the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. Until FY2020, greenhouse gas emissions from one hotel operated by a subsidiary were calculated based on our ownership ratio in that property, but starting in FY2021, emissions are calculated based on operational control. The boundary and calculation method for Scope3 are disclosed on our website: https://www.hulic.co.jp/en/sustainability/ecology/warming/pdf/scope3.pdf GHG emissions quantification is subject to uncertainty when measuring activity data, determining emission factors, and considering scientific uncertainty inherent in the Global Warming Potentials.
- *2Calculations for waste disposal are based on the properties where the Hulic Group occupies or manages business operations (36 properties in FY2020, 41 properties in FY2021, 40 properties in FY2022, 48 properties in FY2023, and 262 properties in FY2024). In FY 2024, the number of properties increased compared to the previous year due to the implementation of M&A during the period. Beginning in FY2020, we are calculating total waste disposal at specific properties within the boundary by using weight conversion factors based on actual measurements. The waste disposal of certain properties are estimated using the total floor area based on the emissions intensity of buildings with similar functions.
- *3Beginning in FY2021, Hulic's fixed assets are covered, excluding properties under development and land for lease (220 properties in FY2021, 207 properties in FY2022, 204 properties in FY2023, and 194 properties in FY2024). Note that the amount of hot spring water used at hot spring ryokans (luxury Japanese inns) is not included.
- *4Hulic’s earthquake-resistance standards are where building performance can safeguard human life and enable continued use of the building with post-earthquake repair in the event of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of level 7.
- *5Highly earthquake resistant buildings are those that can safeguard human life and enable continued use of the building with post-earthquake repairs when an earthquake hits with a seismic intensity of level 7, excluding those subjects for sale, etc.
- *6Our target for the employment ratio of persons with disabilities is to be at the statutory employment ratio or higher: 2.2% or higher till FY2020, 2.3% or higher from FY2021 to FY2023, and 2.5% or higher for FY2024.
