Environment

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.

The Group has established a target to reduce total CO₂ emissions by 20% by FY2031, compared with FY2020.
This applies to not only the CO₂ emitted from offices, but also the CO₂ from employees’ business activities and throughout the entire lifecycle of services. Our wide-ranging initiatives will help prevent global warming, while we are working with clients, business partners, and employees.

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 FY2023, 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)

The WILL GROUP has expressed support for the TCFD recommendations and joined the TCFD Consortium in January 2023.
In accordance with the four core disclosure items recommended by TCFD, governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets, we disclose our approach to climate change.
For details, please refer to the Initiatives for the Environment section of our website.

We will promote biodiversity conservation initiatives through our business activities and procurement practices.

In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, we will actively promote initiatives to reduce environmental impact by complying with environmental laws and regulations and by engaging in energy conservation, waste reduction, efficient water use, and pollution prevention.
