Prior to the international conference on climate change countermeasures "COP26" starting from the end of this month, a conference was held in which domestic companies taking active measures announced their efforts.

The conference was held online on the 13th in an attempt to share the efforts of non-governmental climate change countermeasures by the "Climate Change Initiative," a group of domestic companies and local governments.



Among them, the executive officer of Suntory Holdings, a major beverage company, started operation of a new factory in Nagano prefecture that has virtually zero carbon dioxide emissions, and will regenerate electricity at all production research bases, including Europe and the United States, next year. I explained that I will switch to possible energy.



In addition, the housing maker "Ecoworks", which is headquartered in Fukuoka City, has already covered the electricity of all business establishments with renewable energy, and by 2030, all company cars will be electric vehicles. Companies can make decisions faster and achieve decarbonization. "



The Climate Change Initiative, which was established three years ago, has more than six times the number of participating organizations, more than 670, and plans to announce Japan's efforts at the COP26 venue in the United Kingdom from the end of this month.
