SustainabilityGreenhouse Gas Emissions Performance and Reduction Targets
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Targets
QUICK Corp. (QUICK) has identified “Environmentally Conscious Corporate Behavior” as one of the key
issues (materiality) that should be addressed on a priority basis.
As a company, we have been striving to take environmentally friendly actions such as efficient use of
energy. We will continue to set GHG emission reduction targets in order to steadily promote our
environmental efforts(*1).
| Target scopes(*2) | Goal |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 + 2 | Aim for virtually zero emissions of Scope 1+2 by 2025 |
（*1）QUICK and the group companies are the target.
（*2）Scope: Scope of calculation and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions by companies
Scope 1: Direct emissions by fuel combustion, etc.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from consumption of electricity, heat, steam, etc.
GHG Performance
| FY2019 Results | FY2020 Results | FY2021 Results | FY2022 Results | FY2023 Results | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GHG emissions(*3) Unit: t-CO2eq |
1,939 | 1,437 | 1,315 | 635 | 500 |
（*3）Figures calculated using the market-based method, which calculates Scope 2 emissions by reflecting the contract of electricity purchased by companies
Trends in Performance and Reduction Plans for GHG Emissions
QUICK is committed to promoting activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward 2025. For example, we are planning to use 100% electricity from virtually renewable energy sources in the headquarters office building and shift the systems to data centers and cloud services with superior environmental performance.
| FY2020 | FY2021 | FY2022 | FY2023 | FY2025 Target(*4) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GHG emissions reduction rate compared with FY2019 | -25.9% | -32.2% | -67.3% | -74.2% | -100% |
（*4）Assumes that any emissions that cannot be reduced through efforts to reduce GHG emissions will be compensated for through carbon offsets.
Contribution to the Expansion of Sustainable Finance
QUICK regards climate change as a materiality in management. We are committed to taking environmentally friendly corporate actions. At the same time, as an information vendor, we provide accurate information and solutions to promote the reduction of environmental burdens. Through these actions, we will contribute to the realization of a de-carbonized society and the expansion of sustainable finance.
Endorsement of TCFD Recommendations
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was established in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to examine climate-related information disclosures and how financial institutions should respond to them.
On October 25, 2021, QUICK announced its endorsement of TCFD recommendations.
