Environmental policies

To sustainably and safely protect the global environment, through reductions in energy use, the Group will proactively take the initiative for addressing climate change, the reuse of resources, and conserving biodiversity.

Targets

The Group has established a target to reduce total CO₂ emissions by 20% by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2031, compared with the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

This applies to not only the CO₂ emitted from offices, but also the CO₂ from employee’s business activities and throughout the service’s entire lifecycle. Our wide-ranging initiatives will help prevent global warming, while we are working with clients, business partners, and employees.

Trends in CO₂ emissions

Based on the Green Value Chain Platform from the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, we calculate CO₂ emissions at WILL GROUP, INC. and wholly owned subsidiaries in Japan.

Starting with the disclosure for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we have reviewed the companies corresponding to Scopes 1 and 2 and items to be included in the calculation, and we added Scope 3.

The emission sources applicable to each scope are as follows.

Scope 1: CO₂ emissions from direct use of gas and gasoline
Scope 2: CO₂ emissions through the use of electricity
Scope 3: CO₂ emissions of Category 6 (Business Travel) and Category 7 (Employee Commuting)

Initiatives in response to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations

The Will Group has expressed the support for the TCFD recommendations and joined the TCFD Consortium in January 2023.
