Environmental Initiatives

Creating Environmental Value

オンライン カジノ バカラne Group promotes its environmental initiatives in four domains, namely responding to climate change, promoting green transformation, responding to natural disasters and protecting the global environment.

Responding to climate change

オンライン カジノ バカラne Group has been working to promote the use of renewable energy, support customers’ and society’s climate change countermeasures, reduce CO2 emissions from our business activities and encourage ESG investment to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement.

Climate-Related Financial Disclosure Based on the TCFD Recommendations

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) had been entrusted by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to formulate voluntary recommendations for consistent, comparable, reliable, clear and efficient climate-related disclosures by companies in the financial sector and released its final recommendations (TCFD recommendations) in June 2017.

Reducing CO2 Emissions and Becoming Carbon Neutral

Toward achieving carbon neutrality in 2050, we aim to reduce the environmental footprint from our business activities wherever possible, and have positioned initiatives for reducing the environmental footprint as a key issue for the Group. The entire オンライン カジノ バカラne Group, in Japan and overseas, is making efforts to become carbon neutral under the strategic concepts of "Reduce", "Switch", and "Offset".

Promoting Green Transformation

To promote green transformation, we help customers to become carbon neutral and to work toward a decarbonized society and contribute to the growth and development of industry through the development and provision of insurance products and solutions as well as through risk consulting.

Globally Providing Insurance Products Related to Renewable Energy

Renewable energy such as offshore wind power and solar power is expected to be a new power source for the transition to a decarbonized society. As such, installation and widespread construction of facilities are promoted in various countries. We acquired GCube, a leading player in providing insurance underwriting services for renewable energy projects around the world, to support the spread of renewable energy around the world.

Developing a TCFD Disclosure Support System and Providing Related Consulting Services

オンライン カジノ バカラne & Nichido has developed a system to support information disclosure based on the TCFD recommendations, specifically assisting TCFD scenario analysis that causes significant work burdens on companies. By providing the system to a wide range of customers and continuously enhancing its functionality based on customer feedback, オンライン カジノ バカラne & Nichido supports the GX strategies of various companies striving to disclose climate-related financial information for achieving decarbonization and carbon neutrality.

Responding to Natural Disasters

We are promoting the development and provision of products and services leading to the safety and security of customers and local communities. We are also promoting activities to disseminate our knowledge on disasters and disaster prevention and mitigation widely throughout society through efforts such as raising disaster prevention awareness of children as well as companies before a disaster strikes. After a disaster, we focus on making appropriate and swift claims payments and providing services for the early recovery of business operations of companies affected by the disaster.

Making Fire Insurance and Fire Alarms Widely Available

South Africa-based Hollard Insurance offers a set that includes fire insurance and a fire alarm in collaboration with disaster-prevention company Lumkani, contributing to the prevention of fires and the payment of compensation in the event of a fire. Offering the set at a price that is affordable to low-income people helps make insurance and fire alarms widely available and increases society’s disaster resilience.

Disaster Prevention Consortium (CORE) Aimed at Building a Disaster-Resilient Society

CORE was established by 14 companies in November 2021, with オンライン カジノ バカラne & Nichido being the initiator. As of August 10, 2023, it has been joined by 101 companies. The co-creation solutions are being created, a unique feature of the Consortium that fosters cross-industrial cooperation.

Protecting the Global Environment

オンライン カジノ バカラne Group is implementing local and social contribution activities around the world that help protect the environment and preserve biodiversity and wetlands. These activities emphasize voluntary engagement by employees and tie-ups with NPOs and other groups.

Plant a total area of 1,150 hectares of mangrove forest
by end of fiscal 2023

Status of Mangrove Planting

Since 1999, オンライン カジノ バカラne & Nichido has been conducting its Mangrove Planting Project primarily in Southeast Asia. During the 24-year period to fiscal 2022, we planted a total of 12,261 hectares of new forest in nine countries: Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Fiji, India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia.

Green Gift Project (Activities to Protect the Sea): Protecting and Restoring Eelgrass Beds

In October 2022, オンライン カジノ バカラne & Nichido launched activities to protect and restore eelgrass beds. Eelgrass is expected to generate a positive effect of absorbing and fixating CO2 from the atmosphere, as it absorbs CO2 through photosynthesis and sinks to the sea floor when it dies, becoming part of the sediment and retaining carbon for a long time in deep waters. Eelgrass beds also serve as sites for fish to lay eggs and for young fish to grow and are expected to have additional effects, such as the purification of water and the protection of biodiversity.
