Our group has formulated a long-term vision for which fiscal 2035 is the target year, entitled NNR Group CYD Vision 2035: Grow in harmony with you. Furthermore, we have clearly outlined the roadmap Toward Carbon Neutrality (2050).
Furthermore, we have set reduction targets for the 16th Medium-Term Management Plan (fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2025) in accordance with the roadmap.
CO2 reduction targets:
・Fiscal 2025: 38% reduction from the fiscal 2013 level (16th Medium-Term Management Plan)
・By fiscal 2035, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% compared to fiscal 2013 (long-term vision). We will achieve the national target of a 46% reduction in CO2 emissions by fiscal 2030 on a fiscal 2013 basis, and strive for carbon neutrality across the entire group by 2050.
The Group's reduction targets for the new national goals outlined in the "GX2040 Vision" will be considered in the next Medium-Term Management Plan.
●CO2 emissions
Our group has formulated a long-term vision for which fiscal 2035 is the target year, entitled NNR Group CYD Vision 2035: Grow in harmony with you. Furthermore, we have clearly outlined the roadmap Toward Carbon Neutrality (2050).
Additionally, the 16th Medium-Term Management Plan (Progress since fiscal 2013)
Our group's energy consumption for fiscal 2024 comprised 44% (1,940 thousand GJ) related to Scope 1 emissions from light oil, city gas, and other fossil fuels, and 56% (2,449 thousand GJ) related to Scope 2 emissions from electricity and heat supply. This represents an increase of 0.8% compared to fiscal 2023.
Energy consumption trends show a reduction across the group as a whole. This reduction stems from business expansions primarily in the hotel and distribution sectors, revised routes and reduced services in the bus business, and the closing, demolition, or selling of buildings in the real estate business. Since fiscal 2020, increased demand for inbound tourism following the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has led to higher diesel fuel consumption in the highway bus and sightseeing bus divisions, along with increased electricity usage due to improved hotel room occupancy rates. However, by promoting energy-saving measures such as switching to LED lighting and updating air conditioning equipment, we have maintained a reduction in energy consumption compared to fiscal 2013.
Regarding CO2 emissions reduction, we are working to achieve carbon neutrality by implementing fuel transitions such as switching to electric buses in our bus operations, while also advancing the use of electricity derived from renewable sources like solar power generation. CO2 emissions for fiscal 2024 totaled 236,000 tons, achieving a 37% reduction on a fiscal 2013 basis and a 9% reduction compared to the previous year. Furthermore, the share of renewable energy in total electricity consumption stands at 11% (excluding power company shares).
We will continue to reduce energy consumption by promoting further energy conservation and moving away from fossil fuels, while also striving to reduce CO2 emissions by increasing the proportion of electricity derived from renewable sources.
We have set reduction targets for fiscal 2023 to 2025 in accordance with the roadmap.
CO2 reduction targets:
・Fiscal 2025: 38% reduction from the fiscal 2013 level (16th Medium-Term Management Plan)
・By fiscal 2035, we aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% compared to fiscal 2013 (long-term vision). We will achieve the national target of a 46% reduction in CO2 emissions by fiscal 2030 on a fiscal 2013 basis, and strive for carbon neutrality across the entire group by 2050.
The Group's reduction targets for the new national goals outlined in the "GX2040 Vision" will be considered in the next Medium-Term Management Plan.
The Group has established reduction targets for the energy consumption required for business operations, the resulting CO2 emissions, and the usage of copy paper and water. These targets guide us toward more effective initiatives. The results by business category for this fiscal year are as follows: *1

In the 16th Medium-Term Management Plan, which sets fiscal 2025 as the target year, the Nishitetsu Group has formulated and is implementing an environmental impact reduction plan that includes specific targets for each division and company based on priority items for the Group.
At the ESG Promotion Committee, progress on the evaluation of targets and the implementation status of specific measures is reviewed every six months.
〇Initiatives to achieve a decarbonized society 〇Initiatives to achieve a recycling-oriented society
- Compliance with the revised Act on the Rational Use of Energy - Proper disposal of waste
- Reduction of CO2 emissions (absolute volume, individual intensity） - Reduction of copy paper and water consumption
Numerical target setting
Set based on the overall goals.
〇Initiatives by Divisions and Companies initiatives 〇Environmental risk management
1) CO2 emissions(absolute volume, individual intensity) 1) Environmental Training Sessions
*Individual intensity: CO2 emissions divided by Numerical target setting Annual training is conducted for
a value closely related to the emissions Support environmental managers to address
2) Workplace Visits
2) copy paper Formulation of specific measures Visits are made to confirm the status of
3) water consumption, numerical environmental impact reduction activities
and compliance with relevant regulations.
○Improving information disclosure
The Group actively communicates updates on the progress of our environmental impact reduction plans through our website, securities
reports, and the CDP.
※Environmental management framework (sustainable management)
The Group has established the ESG Promotion Committee to discuss, deliberate, and monitor key issues related to environmental management across the entire organization under sustainable management. The committee reviews the progress of the environmental impact reduction plans every six months, evaluating performance against set targets and monitoring the implementation of specific measures
