Sustainability
Environment
Our goal is to promote the conservation of energy and resources and conduct efficient, environmentally friendly business management.
Sustainability
In January 2020, the new main office of KOEI TECMO GAMES, the KT Building, was completed in Minatomirai, Yokohama. This building is designed with the active pursuit of sustainability in mind. We will use the know-how we accumulated from this KT Building to increase the sustainability of our other office buildings, bringing about energy-efficient office environments for our entire Group.
Calculation of greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions (unit: t-CO₂)
* Calculation period: April 2022 to March 2023
* Calculation criteria: Basic Guidelines on Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Throughout the Supply Chain (ver.2.5 Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Government of Japan)
* Excluded from calculation: Some locations with extremely low energy consumption (such as small businesses with 10 or fewer employees)
* Emission factor: For fuel and domestic electricity, we calculated by the emissions factor specified in the GHG emissions accounting, reporting, and disclosure system administered by Japanʼs Ministry of the Environment. For overseas electricity, we calculated by the
emissions factor specified by each countryʼs government or IGES (Institute for Global Environmental Strategies) CDM Project Database.
Introduction of energy-saving equipment
We have implemented LED lighting for the office and water-conservative equipment for toilets and sinks.
Energy conservation through district heating and cooling systems
The Yokohama Minatomirai district promotes energy-saving and environmentally friendly urban development by introducing a district heating and cooling system in which cold water and steam used for heating, cooling, and hot water supply are centrally produced at an energy plant and supplied to facilities in the area. Through the implementation of this district air conditioning system, energy-efficient city development has been able to proceed with a low impact on the environment. At the KT Building, we combine this system with under-floor air conditioning that pushes air upward across the entire floor to implement an even more energy-efficient and effective air conditioning.
Greening Initiatives
We have added a variety of greenery to the outer walls and exterior grounds to create a vibrant and environmentally friendly city scenery. In the office, indoor gardens with live plants have been installed on each floor to create a comfortable and creative work environment.
