The Company has established the Tokyu Group Sustainability Promotion Committee (held biannually in principle) under the Sustainability Promotion Committee (chaired by the President), which sets targets for each company and division in line with the Tokyu Group Philosophy and manages progress from a medium- to long-term perspective. Key issues are reported to the Board of Directors, and environmental initiatives are systematically promoted including the input of consolidated subsidiaries.
We and our consolidated subsidiaries have established our own environmental policies and are planning and implementing initiatives to promote environmental management for the entire Tokyu Group based on the Group's philosophy.
To confirm the reliable operation of the environmental management system, our internal audit division periodically conducts internal audits in addition to the internal monitoring conducted by the environment division in keeping with enactment and revision of laws and regulations. In addition, we conduct a self-check of environmental laws and regulations (for consolidated subsidiaries) once a year.
We and our consolidated subsidiaries are actively working to establish an environmental management system, and six companies (six sites) have obtained ISO 14001 certification. Some of our consolidated subsidiaries have obtained certifications such as Eco Action 21 and Green Management Certification, which are being promoted by the Ministry of the Environment as environmental management systems that are easier to implement.
We also have a system in place to facilitate internal audits and other activities to maintain certification both by Tokyu Corporation and by environmental staff at consolidated companies that have experience in obtaining certification.
Additionally, we conduct surveys on the environmental impact of our consolidated companies to gain a quantitative understanding of the impact of our business activities on the planet and hold information exchange meetings to allow the group companies to share useful information for promoting environmental management and increasing environmental activities. Finally, we host seminars led by experts in related fields.

We encourage our employees to take the Certification Test for Environmental Specialists (Eco Test) sponsored by the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI). Since the fifth test held in 2008, we have been providing full subsidies for examination and textbook fees to those who pass. The purpose of the test is to raise awareness of environmental activities and environmental load reduction within the company. Thus far, over 100 people have passed the exam.
As part of the Tokyu Group's efforts to raise awareness of its environmental and social contribution initiatives and those of individual employees, we have been awarding prizes for outstanding environmental and social contributions since July 2009.
For details, please refer to Tokyu Group Environmental and Social Contribution Award.
