Carbon neutral

In order to achieve a carbon-neutral society, J:COM has set a carbon neutral target of reducing _CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2 of the J:COM Group) from its business activities to virtually zero by fiscal year 2030, and will contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

2030年度カーボンニュートラル化

J:COMは2024年にマテリアリティ（重要課題）として掲げている脱炭素社会の実現に向けた取り組みをよりいっそう加速するため、政府目標の2050年よりも20年早い「2030年度カーボンニュートラル達成」をグループ目標として設定しました。

To achieve our goals, we will promote various initiatives focused on two pillars: "energy conservation" and "renewable energy."

Energy conservation initiatives

Promoting the conversion of transmission lines to FTTH

The _CO2 emissions from the transmission lines that deliver broadcasting and communications services to customers account for approximately 50% of J:COM total emissions. We will upgrade our transmission lines from the conventional HFC ^*1 system to the highly energy-efficient FTTH ^*2 system to respond to increases in communication data volume and changes in the communications environment while also reducing energy consumption.

*1 HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial): A transmission path consisting of optical fiber and coaxial cable.
*2 FTTH (Fiber To The Home): A transmission path made up of optical fiber.

Reducing headend power consumption

The "head end" is a facility that converts broadcast radio waves for cable television and sends them out over the transmission line, as well as sending and receiving communication signals for the Internet and other purposes. Head ends are facilities similar to data centers, and _CO2 emissions from electricity use for air conditioning and other purposes account for approximately 30% of J:COM total emissions. Currently, we are working to improve the efficiency of the air conditioning used by these facilities, which are located in 96 locations nationwide, through AI control.
We are also considering installing solar panels on the rooftop of the facility, making effective use of the facility's space. Through these efforts, we aim to reduce head-end _CO2 emissions by 20-30%.

J:COM MaaS Initiatives

As of 2020, we had 4,500 sales vehicles that visit customers' homes and other locations, but by switching to the ride-sharing service "J:COM MaaS," we have been able to halve this number and reduce _CO2 emissions.
In the future, we aim to create new mobility services with the slogan "Freedom of movement for everyone, from child-rearing generations to seniors."

Renewable Energy Initiatives

Switching to renewable energy

省エネルギーへの取り組みにより伝送路やヘッドエンド、オフィスにおける消費電力の削減を継続的に進めながら、2030年度までに削減しきれなかった電力については、順次、再生可能エネルギー^※に切り替えています。24時間365日安定したサービスを提供する通信設備や拠点設備が全国に分散しているインフラ特性を踏まえ、エリアごとに最適なパートナー事業者および調達手法を組み合わせる分散型調達モデルを確立し、将来の電力需要への柔軟な対応と安定した事業運営を両立していきます。
北海道エリアでは、バイオガス発電によるフィジカルPPAなどを2026年4月から導入し、地域に根差した再生可能エネルギーの地産地消モデルを構築しています。

Regional energy circulation model

J:COM aims to build a regional energy circulation model in which customers can use renewable energy generated by solar panels at their homes and other locations, and use the surplus energy generated at our own facilities. This will enable us to contribute to a decarbonized society while also achieving economical living. ^*.

* Starting in July 2024, a trial of the "J:COM Solar (PPA)" solar power generation service for customers' homes will begin in some areas.

Solar power generation and storage at customer homes

In response to customer requests, we will be offering solar panels under new contract types (leasing and purchasing) from November 2025. We will also support the security of our customers' lives by providing storage battery systems that can store electricity in preparation for natural disasters and power outages ^*.

*Trial offer available in some areas of the Kanto region

Green Menu (Electricity Service)

J:COM will be offering a Green Menu (electricity service) that uses 100% renewable energy ^*1 from April 2022. With the Green Menu, a four-person household can reduce their annual _CO2 emissions to essentially zero, equivalent to approximately 2.4 tons.

*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.

J:COM Green Program ^*1

J:COMへお支払いいただく電気料金の一部^※2で、森林保護活動を支援。1世帯につき約5平方メートルの森林を1年間にわたって守ることができます。また、お客さまがJ:COMの接客・対応を受けた後のアンケートへのご回答1件につき、1平方メートルの森林保護に貢献。皆さまの声が環境保全につながります。

*1 J:COM Green Program is run by the Forestock Association. This utilizes the "Forestock Certification System."
*2 This offer is available to households subscribed to J:COM Electricity/Power Green Menu.

Visualization of environmental contributions

The amount of _CO2 reduction that customers have contributed to in relation to their monthly and annual electricity usage (actual _CO2 reduction) can be converted into the number of trees and easily checked on the MY J:COM app. This makes the energy saving effect of customers visible and promotes the reduction of electricity usage.
