CO₂ Reduction Initiatives to Tackle Climate Change

Amid rising global concern surrounding social issues centered on the climate and energy, the Paris Agreement, in which countries came together to mitigate global warming, and the SDGs set out by the UN, are drawing growing attention.
In Japan, compliance with the energy conservation law will be required by 2030, and Sodick is setting its sights on the use of renewable energy. We promote initiatives to reduce CO₂ emissions through installation of solar power generation systems and effective use of the “Cool Biz” energy-saving campaign (cooler business attire to cut down on air conditioning usage) and teleconference systems. The introduction of teleconference systems at our domestic offices and overseas subsidiaries reduces travel for meetings and business discussions, thereby helping to reduce energy consumption.

CO₂ Emissions and Crude Oil Equivalent

Scope: Sodick (non-consolidated)
Measurement period: January 2023 - December

Use of Renewable Energy

Sodick is working to reduce the amount of CO₂ emissions from business activities. We have installed solar power generation systems at our Head Office, Kaga Office, Miyazaki Office of Sodick F.T and Thailand factory. We are also experimenting with various other activities, including selling power generated by the system at the Head Office as electricity.

Turning off lights at lunch break

From 2015, Sodick began turning off lights and computer displays in plants and offices during a one-hour break at noontime. Because all lights cannot be turned off, narrowly targeted switches are used to leave the lights on only where needed, and this has thoroughly reduced unnecessary electricity consumption.
At the Kaga Office, we are using a system that shows the amount of electricity consumption on one screen. Visualizing electricity consumption in real time enables us to confirm the effect of this initiative and to propel activities to conserve electricity consumption.
