Environmental Initiatives
The TIS INTEC Group engages in various environmental initiatives to help realize a sustainable society and leave a healthy global environment for future generations.We have also set targets for these initiatives and established an environmental management system (EMS) aimed at methodically achieving those targets.
Environmental Management System(EMS)
Our EMS focuses on responding to climate change and building a circular society and sets the following themes.
① Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
② Reduction of energy consumption
③ Initiatives for paperless operation
In particular, for ① Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we have set Group-wide targets and are working collectively across all entities to achieve them.
In addition, as part of its EMS initiatives, the Group is working to obtain ISO 14001 certification, and as March 31, 2025, the coverage ratio of certified companies (based on the Group's total sales) exceeded 60%.
Note: For the most up-to-date coverage ratio, please refer to our ESG Data Book for 2025 and beyond.

(1) Initiatives for each theme
①Reduction of GHG emissions
To realize a net-zero society, the Group has established a reduction plan (transition plan) for GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and monitors progress toward achieving the plan's targets each year.
For more detailed information, please see the link below.

- Specific initiatives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
②Reduction of energy consumption
The Group is working to reduce energy consumption by focusing on data centers, which account for about 80% of its electricity use, as well as by improving the energy efficiency of air-conditioning and other equipment and consolidating and reorganizing facilities.
Historical energy consumption data is published in the "Non-Financial Data Collection:Environmental Data." Please refer to the link below.
③Initiatives for paperless operation
To help build a circular society, we promote the "5Rs" (refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle). As part of these efforts, we are advancing paperless initiatives-not only reducing paper usage but also eliminating paper altogether wherever possible.
(2) Environmental education
The Group formulated its "Environmental Vision," "Environmental Declaration," and "Environmental Action Guidelines" as common principles for promoting global environmental protection.
To connect these Group principles to the actions of each employee, we disseminate environmental information through our internal portal*1 and provide fundamental environmental education based on the EMS, including classroom instruction and e-learning.
In addition, we share the philosophy of our Environmental Declaration and the importance of reducing GHG emissions with Group companies in Japan and overseas, linking these concepts to initiatives tailored to the circumstances of each country and region.

Initiatives related to water resources and waste
The Group is working to use water resources appropriately in its business activities, taking into account water depletion and impacts on local environments. As water is a finite resource, companies must manage it with care and accountability.
In addition, considering that untreated waste can cause severe pollution in the natural environment and significant harm to ecosystems, we properly manage waste and focus on waste reduction, reuse, and appropriate disposal.
Regarding the relevance of "water" and "waste" to the Group's business activities, we conduct evaluations through disclosures based on the TNFD*2.
For details, please refer to "Strategy - ③ Nature-related risks and financial impacts" at the link below.

(1) Water resource utilization
The Group views proper management of water resources as essential for business continuity, and is working to understand and use water efficiently, particularly at its data centers. As a specific initiative in water resource management, we work to understand and disclose the water usage of our water-cooled data centers.
(2) Waste management
Realizing a sustainable society and healthy environment requires a shift toward a circular economy.
In addition to properly managing waste in accordance with local regulations, we are working to reuse and recycle used computers, reduce the use of PET bottles by installing water dispensers, and reuse plastic items, such as clear files, together with our stationery-manufacturer customers. Through these efforts, we aim to help realize a society where resources are used and circulated without generating waste.
