IntaSect Communications Inc. (hereafter “the Company”) will actively promote specific actions to minimize the environmental impact of global warming for a sustainable future.

The Necessity of Measures Against Global Warming

Average global temperatures continue to rise due to global warming. The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2013 – 2014) predicts that without proper measures against global warming, the global average temperature in 2081 – 2100 will increase by 2.6 to 4.8 °C compared to the end of the 20th century. Even if strict measures are taken and the rise in temperature is controlled to a minimum, the global average sea level is expected to rise compared to the end of the 20th century, and climate change is projected to continue, including ocean acidification and reduction in the surface area of sea ice in the Arctic region. This has made global warming an issue that must be addressed urgently.

It was against this backdrop that the Paris Agreement was concluded to overcome global warming.
The aims of the Paris Agreement:
1. To keep the global average temperature increase well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels
2. To strive to keep the increase within 1.5°C
The vision is to “curb the global emissions peak as early as possible, and as rapidly as possible, in accordance with the latest science so that we may achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions and absorption of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century.

Promotional System

The Company established the Risk Management Office to implement a company-wide approach to environmental measures and achieve our CO2 emissions reduction targets.

Specific Initiatives

Below are the specific initiatives of the Company. We will continue to improve on them.
・We will strive to reduce CO2 emissions by using cloud services that aim to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions within our own systems.
・We will optimize office air conditioning temperatures and lighting hours to save energy.
・We will reduce travel and business trips and save energy through the use of communication tools.
・We will promote the use of green energy through the adoption of renewable energy sources and the use of environmental value certificates.

CO2 emissions reduction targets

The Company will aim to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions as a long-term goal. As a medium-term goal, we will aim for a 59 % reduction (compared to 2021) by 2035.
