We are aware that climate change in conjunction with increases in greenhouse gas emissions is a major issue that will impact business activities, and we are working to reduce environmental impact by improving the efficiency of energy usage, reducing resource use, preserving biodiversity, reducing waste, and taking other measures to mitigate climate change while achieving business growth.

In addition, we actively disclose information through all our businesses and services to raise the awareness of all stakeholders regarding environmental preservation, and we report on our environmental preservation initiatives and their results.

We will calculate total greenhouse gas emissions during the entire lifecycles of offices and business activities and take active measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, prevent environmental pollution, preserve biodiversity, and reduce waste.

The boundary of greenhouse gas emissions calculations is the Direct Marketing MiX Group (Direct Marketing MiX Inc. and its subsidiaries).

We set a target of reducing CO₂ emissions from electricity consumption by 100% compared to 2020 emissions by 2030, which is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), and are reducing CO₂ emissions and contributing to adaptation to climate change by actively using renewable energy and other means.

We encourage implementation of Cool Biz and Warm Biz (campaigns for wearing more casual attire in the office and taking other measures so that the use of air conditioning can be limited) and are working to save electricity through measures such as adjusting air conditioning temperature in offices by setting them higher in the summer and lower in the winter, turning off non-essential equipment, and fostering environmental awareness among executives and employees.

We use an internal application and approval system and are digitalizing various paper resources such as internal application forms and reports. We are also reducing paper use by posting bulletins and the like on the company intranet.

In addition, we have prohibited employees from bringing paper into or removing paper from centers from the perspective of information security and have digitalized all personal information and the like for storage in order to shift to paperless operations.

Furthermore, we introduced a system of printing following confirmation of identity at the time of printing using an ID card issued to each employee in order to determine the amount of copy paper used and raise awareness of the need to reduce usage.

By using business cards made from limestone we avoid cutting down trees, which are the raw material for paper, thereby reducing the amount of wood resources used. This also contributes to reducing water use as almost no water is required in the manufacturing process.
