The Group assumes climate change to have a significant impact on its Energy Solutions Business and Power & Electricity Business. For these businesses, we have begun analyzing the below 2°C scenario, which is associated with high transition risks, and the 4°C scenario, which is associated with high physical risks.
With 2050 as the target year, we are examining the risks and opportunities that may arise under these scenarios as well as response measures.
The below 2°C scenario assumes that the climate will not change significantly compared to its current state due to the tightening of environmental restrictions. The 4°C scenario assumes that decarbonization and carbon reduction efforts fail to advance, leading to an increase in physical risks such as those due to natural disasters.
Going forward, we will evaluate the impacts under each scenario and also carry out scenario analysis for other businesses, taking the results into account in the formulation of our management plans.

The Group’s GHG emissions in FY2021 were approximately 5.99 million t-CO₂eq. 99.4% of the emissions were Scope 3, of which 48.8% was attributed to customer gas, electricity, and product usage and 40.3% was attributed to related procurement operations. The Group’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were attributed to vehicle operation (gas delivery vehicles and company cars) and gas and electricity usage within the Company. To reduce the Company’s direct CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2), the Group is automating remotely obtained data meter readings for LPG and working to streamline delivery operations (reduction of truck operating time and travel distance), eliminate complicated deliveries, and promote eco-driving activities. We are also changing to electric vehicles (EVs) for company cars and increasing the amount of renewable energy and environmentally friendly energy sources we handle. In addition, to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in our supply chain (Scope 3), we are expanding our meter readings service and delivery operation streamlining services powered by SmartOWL^®, transitioning to high-efficiency equipment (ECO FEEL, fuel conversion systems, ECO-JOZU, ECO ONE), and promoting the Mitsuuroko Green Plan.

In the Energy Solutions Business, we have promoted the expansion of our meter readings service and delivery operation streamlining service powered by SmartOWL^®, and transitioning to high-efficiency equipment for our existing customers. We are also improving fuel efficiency during deliveries by eliminating complicated deliveries, and shortening travel distances and reducing fuel consumption through eco-driving activities.
In the Power & Electricity Business, we are expanding the provision of the Mitsuuroko Green Plan.
In the Foods Business, we are promoting the sale of label-less PET bottles and the elimination of plastic (use of paper straws and wooden muddlers).
In the Living & Wellness Business, we worked to expand renewable energy electricity contracts in common areas of owned properties and switched to energy-saving equipment and water-saving facilities. We also sold edible container products at the EAS café.(Sales currently suspended) In FY2022, in addition to continuing and expanding the above initiatives, Living & Wellness Business acquired real estate assessor qualifications of CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency), which is a method for evaluating and rating the environmental performance of buildings. We also changed straws, cups, and cutlery to paper, reduced food mileage*, and promoted production for recycling preform (PET bottle material).

* This thinking focuses on the impact on the global environment of CO₂ emitted from the transportation of food. The Company is involved in an initiative to offer products purchased from local stores in Yokohama-shi or vegetables hydroponically grown in the stores.
