Recognizing that emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have caused global warming and are the cause of climate change, we consider "the intensification of flooding, landslides, and other disasters" caused by such emissions to be an important business risk. We also believe that the "impact on the procurement of raw materials such as agriculture, forestry, and fishery resources" and the "increase in heat stroke and infectious diseases" will affect the business of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We recognize that some of the resources that we and our consolidated subsidiaries use in our business operations are finite and that the emission and disposal of pollutants in resource extraction, commercialization, and use pose a risk to biodiversity and human health. In addition to complying with relevant laws and regulations, we promote the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) to improve the sustainability of our business and realize a recycling-based society.
Water resources are one of the most precious resources essential for the existence of living things, and we recognize that the shortage of water resources is becoming more serious worldwide, and that even in Japan there are risks in securing stable and safe water in some regions. We will work to conserve water resources by reducing the total amount of water used in accordance with the unique circumstances of each business area, utilizing reclaimed water appropriate to the method of use and conducting appropriate wastewater treatment.
Since the business activities of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries depend on the rich natural environment in which various living organisms interact, we recognize that the conservation of biodiversity is an important environmental issue not only in our own business but also across the entire supply chain. Since real estate development is closely related to the natural environment and ecosystems, we will conduct environmental impact assessments and obtain environmental certifications in compliance with laws and regulations. In addition, we will strive to preserve and restore the natural environment by creating green spaces and waterfront areas in each of the areas where our projects are located, and by taking the ecosystem into consideration in the development and operation of communities where people can live comfortably and with peace of mind. We will use the knowledge we have gained through our projects along the Tokyu Lines to develop environmentally friendly communities in regional cities and overseas, as well as in other developments outside of the Tokyu Lines.
Since the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are engaged in various businesses closely related to people's daily lives, we recognize the need to work with our customers, business partners, and other stakeholders to reduce the environmental impact and protect the environment in an appropriate manner. To this end, we have formulated and publicly announced our Sustainable Supply Chain Policy, which we ask our suppliers to cooperate with. We value our relationships with communities in each business area and with our suppliers, and are committed to achieving a decarbonized and recycling-based society throughout our supply chain.
The Board of Directors has set specific numerical targets (KPIs) for the medium and long term, recognizing that setting targets is a highly effective approach in relation to environmental conservation and improvement, such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and water consumption. The progress is reviewed by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, which is chaired by the President, and the plan is reviewed and revised to ensure continuous improvement through effective management, thereby responding to the demands of society and creating opportunities for business growth.
