Nisso Group Environmental Policy

Through a series of human resources services activities, NISSO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. and its affiliates (hereinafter, the "Nisso Group") has regarded global environmental conservation and pollution prevention as one of the most significant management issues. In order to achieve harmony with our business activities and the global environment, we have formulated this Environmental Policy. After recognizing the environmental impact caused by business activities, in accordance to the following basic policy, all employees will be actively involved in the creation of a recycling-oriented society as the Nisso Group sets and re-examines environmental objectives and targets, co-exists with local communities and strives to make continuous improvements.

  1. With regards to business activities, we will devote our efforts to the following items in order to prevent pollution and reduce environmental burdens.

    • 1.Thorough reduction of electricity consumption in offices
    • 2.Promotion of eco-driving
    • 3.Thorough sorted collection of waste material
    • 4.Active contribution to local environmental conservation activities of local communities and clients
    • 5.Increase of green purchasing rate of company-use equipment

  2. We will comply with environmental laws・ordinances・ regulations, and other requirements.

  3. We will make considerations for the utilization of sustainable resources・mitigation and adaption of climate change・protection of biodiversity and ecosystems.

  4. We will promote awareness-raising activities such as internal public relations activities to ensure that all employees are able to enhance their awareness of environmental conservation and fully comprehend our Environmental Policy.

  5. We will periodically re-examine and disclose this Environmental Policy to the general public.

02Basic View

The Nisso Group recognizes climate change response as a key management issue essential for business continuity. To reduce GHG emissions, a cause of global warming, we are transforming our business operations toward greater energy efficiency by introducing renewable energy and shifting to hybrid vehicles.
Furthermore, by fostering environmental awareness among employees and encouraging active participation in energy conservation and recycling in daily operations, we aim to build a resilient corporate group capable of adapting to social change.

03Disclosure based on TCFD Recommendations

Recognizing that rising temperatures due to climate change significantly impact business, the Nisso Group is enhancing both the quality and quantity of information disclosure based on the TCFD framework of “Governance,” “Strategy,” “Risk Management,” and “Indicators and Targets.”
Toward early transition to a decarbonized society, under the scenario of limiting temperature rise to 2°C in the latter half of the 21st century, we have identified the following risks and opportunities in connection with achieving our materiality, “responding to social and structural changes.”

Furthermore, to enhance our climate-related information disclosures, NISSO HOLDINGS expressed support for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in October 2023.

(1)Governance

The “Sustainability Committee,” chaired by a Director of NISSO HOLDINGS, formulates countermeasures for identifying and addressing environmental and climate change issues, which are then monitored, managed, and approved by the “Board of Directors.” Risks and opportunities related to the environment and climate change are shared with the “Risk Management Council,” where collaborative discussions are held.

(2)Strategies for Achieving GHG Reduction Targets

1Occurrence of reputation risks
Introduction of carbon tax

Delays in responding to climate change could lower social credibility, while the introduction of new tax systems, such as carbon taxes, may impact performance.

Financial Impact　Small

Timeline of occurrence　Medium-term（2030）

Countermeasures　Improve the efficiency in the use of company-owned vehicles , Switch to hybrid and EV vehicles , Switch to energy-efficient equipment , Promote introduction of renewable energy

Progress　In progress(including some scheduled items)

  • Transition risk
  • Physical Risk
  • oppor

2Suspension of operations due to flooding and other events
Health impacts caused by heatwaves and droughts

Extreme weather events such as major typhoons and storms, or extreme heatwaves and droughts, may cause work stoppages and affect performance.

Financial Impact　Medium

Timeline of occurrence　To long-term（～2050）

Countermeasures　Strengthen safety and health management systems , Collaborate with clients to improve workplace environments , Negotiate compensation for operation stoppages

Progress　In progress
