Sustainable initiatives that are eco-friendly
✔Using green electricity <br />We use green electricity for the illuminations. Green electricity is an environmentally friendly energy that utilizes the environmental value derived from residential solar power generation and converts it into renewable energy.
✔Use of solar power
From 2024, we plan to use solar power generated on our own land to power the illuminations. By developing and operating our own solar power generation facilities, we will be able to establish a system that can stably supply renewable energy and further strengthen our efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.
✔Using LED lights reduces power consumption by 40% <br />LED products are used for all decorative illuminations, reducing power consumption by approximately 40% compared to incandescent bulbs.
