ESG Data Summary

Environment

Climate change

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during FY02/26 were 215,050 t-CO2. While this figure is higher than the previous year due to increased sales and the recovery of other business activities, it is only 88.0% of those during FY02/20 (down 29,371 t-CO2), showing a continuing trend of reduced emissions over the medium to long term.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions were 8,350 t-CO2. While this figure is higher than the previous year due to increased electricity consumption, it is only 60.8% of those during FY02/20 (down 5,384 t-CO2). We will continue to reduce emissions by increasing the efficiency of facility operations, promoting energy-saving measures, and expanding the use of renewable energy.
Scope 3 emissions were 206,700 t-CO2, which is higher than the previous year due to expanded business operations. However, this figure is only 89.6% of those during FY02/20 (down 23,987 t-CO2), and we will continue to reduce CO2 emissions by working to expand made-to-order production and develop OMO stores to more precisely maintain inventories at an appropriate level.

Water and Waste

Water usage in FY02/26 was 94,000 m³, while waste water was 93,000 m³. The amount of waste water is just 46.5% of FY02/20, and we continue to use water resources effectively by consolidating logistics functions and offices, promoting various work styles. We will keep working to make efficient use of water resources, including using groundwater at Lakeland country club, etc.
A total of 1,735 t of waste was generated, and 954 t of that was recycled, a recycling rate of 55.0%. This is an improvement over the previous year's ratio of 49.9%, and we will continue to promote initiatives aimed at realizing a sound material-cycle society, including enhancing precision in waste sorting and promoting resource circulation at each office, as well as the horizontal recycling of plastics.

Social

Employees

The ratio of female managers was 32.6% in FY02/26. Additionally, the parental leave take-up rate reached 100% (male and female employees combined), and we continue to create an environment that supports balancing work and childcare.
We will continue to improve the various training programs and in-house seminars we hold in order to create a work environment where a wide variety of human resources can thrive.
The ratio of employees with disabilities was 2.65% in FY02/26. We will continue to develop an employment environment where a diverse range of human resources can demonstrate their capabilities.
The Onward Group will continue to further promote D&I and achieve work-life synergy based on the Work Style Design Project, aiming to build an organization where each and every employee can work happily and thrive.

Governance

Compliance

There continued to be no fines or penalties for corruption, non-compliance incidents, or political contributions in the current fiscal year. To put into practice fair management with integrity, we will continue to make a concerted effort to enhance the effectiveness of corporate governance and establish a sound management foundation.
