Introduction of Emissions-free Power in All Company-owned Buildings

- Initiatives toward realizing a carbon-free society -

DAIBIRU CORPORATION (Head office: Kita-ku, Osaka; Representative Director, President Chief Executive Officer: Toshiyuki Sonobe) would like to announce that it decided to introduce emissions-free power*1 in stages in all of its Company-owned buildings*2 in Japan as part of its initiatives toward realizing a carbon-free society.

If emissions-free power is introduced in all of the above Company-owned buildings, electric power of about 66 million kWh per year*3 will be replaced with electricity derived from renewable energy sources, and CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by about 25,000 tons*3 per year (equivalent to emissions from about 14,000 households). We plan to start by introducing emissions-free power in four buildings in Osaka (Daibiru-Honkan Building, Nakanoshima Daibiru Building, Shin-Daibiru Building, and Umeda Daibiru Building) in December 2021, and then expand it to other buildings in stages.

Emissions-free power to be introduced by the Company is electricity with Non-Fossil Certificates (with tracking information)*4 compliant with RE100. As the introduction of emissions-free power in the buildings will result in zero CO2 emissions from electricity consumed at the offices and stores of the building tenants, this will lead to an enhancement in their corporate environmental evaluation.

The Daibiru Group has included "addressing environmental problems" in its Group Code of Conduct, and has been proactively working to save energy and promote recycling, etc. Through these efforts as well as the use of emissions-free power, we will promote our initiatives toward realizing a carbon-free society.

For the Daibiru Group's materiality, please see Daibiru Report 2021(p. 11-12,25-35).

• SDGs corresponding to this initiative

*1 Electricity that is substantially derived from renewable energy sources using Non-Fossil Certificates.

*2 Excluding buildings which are scheduled to be rebuilt and for which the Company has not concluded the power purchase contract. *3 Calculated based on total power consumption of the target buildings for fiscal 2019.

*4 Electricity utilizing Non-Fossil Certificates with tracking information on the place of power generation.
