CO ₂ emissions from the transmission lines that deliver broadcasting, communications, and other services to customers account for more than 50% of J:COM 's total emissions. These costs are due to the electricity used by the approximately 24,000 power supplies (PS) installed on transmission lines across the country, and we will be looking into ways to save energy and improve efficiency.
Specifically, we have begun considering demonstration experiments to improve efficiency by downsizing and eliminating transmission loss. We believe that miniaturization and decentralization of power supplies (PS) have the potential to reduce CO ₂ emissions by up to 25%, and we are continuing to conduct specific studies and verifications, including other methods.

A ``headend'' is equipment that converts broadcast radio waves into cable TV signals and sends them out to a transmission line, as well as transmitting and receiving communication signals such as those for the Internet. The headend is a facility similar to a data center, and CO ₂ emissions from electricity used for air conditioning and other purposes account for just under 40% of J:COM 's total emissions. We are currently considering using AI control to improve the efficiency of the air conditioning used by these facilities at 98 locations nationwide, and we are also considering installing solar panels to make effective use of the rooftop space of the facilities. Through these initiatives, we will continue to consider ways to reduce CO ₂ emissions by 20-30%.

From April 2022, J:COM will begin offering a green menu (electricity service) that uses 100% renewable energy ^*1.
With the Green Menu, a family of four can reduce CO ₂ emissions by approximately 2.5 tons per year to virtually zero.

• *1 The Green Menu uses electricity from sources including thermal power, FIT electricity, and renewable energy sources, and by using non-fossil certificates designated as renewable energy, it achieves 100% renewable energy and zero _CO2 emissions.
• *2 In the Hokkaido area, J:COM itself provides Green Menu services as a retail electricity provider.

"Demand response" is a system that asks customers to cooperate in saving electricity and controls electricity usage in order to balance electricity demand and supply when the supply is expected to be tight during peak electricity demand. .
At J:COM, through demonstration experiments of demand response for households, we hope to raise awareness of saving electricity to the extent that is reasonable according to the customer's lifestyle, and to respond to the tight supply and demand of electricity and to reduce CO ₂ emissions. As such, we will continue to contribute to society.

J:COM is a green company. We are working on logistics.

In fiscal 2016, we set a CO ₂ reduction target of ``reducing CO ₂ emitted from logistics operations by 20% by fiscal 2020 (compared to fiscal 2016).'' By reducing the number of vehicles on the road and improving overall logistics efficiency by reviewing delivery routes and truck loading rates, we achieved a 33% reduction in fiscal 2020, exceeding our target.
