Environmental Management

We have established an environmental management system compliant with the international standard ISO 14001, and promote company-wide environmental conservation activities under the supervision of a general system manager.

ISO 14001：2015・JIS Q 14001:2015certification status

Under the framework of our environmental management system, we are committed to complying with environmental laws and regulations. We conduct an annual environmental laws and regulations compliance assessment, and implement corrective actions when we find any violations.

We conduct internal audits on a regular basis to confirm that our environmental management system conforms to ISO 14001 requirements and is effectively implemented in accordance with our environmental targets. In addition, based on the results, we identify issues, take corrective actions, and review our environmental management system to ensure continuous improvement. As a result of an external audit, we maintained our ISO 14001 certification in FY2021.

Started disclosing GHG emission information

2022 GHG emission (non-consolidated)

We believe the impact of climate change to be a significant risk. Accordingly, we expressed our support for the TCFD (Task Force on Cl imate-related Financial Disclosure) recommendations in FY2022, and began disclosing information on our GHG emissions. Going forward, we wi ll continue to extensively analyze the risks and opportunities that climate change poses to our business, reflect them in our management strategies, and proactively disclose information. In addition, by further promoting climate change initiatives such as preparing for disasters and making facilities more energy efficient, we will improve disaster resilience and reduce GHG emissions for our customers as well as our Group, and help achieve the AEON Group's AEON Decarbonization Vision.
