ISO14001 Authentication

JSOL started maintaining ISO14001 certification, an international standard for environmental management systems, in 2000 under its predecessor, the Japan Research Institute. Since October 2013, we have participated in NTT DATA integrated certification and have obtained certification at our Tokyo headquarters.

Environmental Activities through Business

Reduction of environmental load with IT solution

Although IT solutions generate electric power consumption, they also provide beneficial energy-saving and material-saving effects as a result of its reducing materials and energy consumption as well as reducing the movements of people and goods. JSOL endeavors to reduce the environmental loads in all of society by providing IT solutions.

JSOL’s green IT solutions

JSOL introduces examples of IT solutions that contribute to solving social issues, including reducing environmental impact, as "Contribution by Technology."
NTT DATA also introduces distinctive IT solutions that contribute to reducing the environmental impact of society as a whole as "Green IT Innovation."

Environmental Conservation Activities in the Office

JSOL is working to promote environmental conservation by continuing to reduce the use of resources such as energy and copy paper in its daily offices, and by striving to comply with environmental laws and regulations such as the Fluorocarbon Emission Control Act and the Waste Disposal Act.

Trends in reducing greenhouse gas emissions

JSOL has significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with its entire company's electricity use by conserving energy through daily activities, reviewing its business structure, and switching to CO2-free electricity.

Examples of initiatives to prevent global warming

• When relocating the office to Kudanshita, we also considered equipment and other factors important to conservation. The Kudanshita Office achieved approximately 20% greater energy efficiency compared to the standard benchmark based on the Building Energy Conservation Act, thanks to the latest energy-saving equipment and BEMS (Building Energy Management System), and the use of CO2-free electricity that has reduced approximately 468 t-CO2/year compared to the use of general electricity (FY2021 and FY2023).

• The Kudanshita office uses office fixtures (total: 225 t-CO2) that utilize Okamura Co., Ltd.'s "Carbon Offset Program".

• At our Osaka head office (Tosabori Office), we also emitted approximately 300 t-CO2 of greenhouse gases associated with electricity use in FY2021, but we switched to LED lighting and switched to CO2-free electricity from FY2022.
