Environmental Data

We will appropriately manage environment-related data and disclose information while executing environmentally friendly management. We believe it is important to provide reliable information concerning our sustainability-related activities. Figures marked with “” have been guaranteed by an independent assurance provider for the values included in our Integrated Report.

  • *The boundary of waste emissions is calculated for business sites for which the Hulic Group has energy management rights (30 properties in FY2019, 36 properties in FY2020, 41 properties in FY2021, 40 properties in FY2022, and 48 properties in FY2023). Since FY2020, we have been calculating the amount of waste generated using the weight conversion factor measured at some of the target properties. In addition, the amount of waste generated by some of the target buildings is estimated using the total floor area based on the emission intensity of the building for the same use.
