□ About the environmental activities of TOKYO GAS CO.,LTD and FC Tokyo
TOKYO GAS CO.,LTD has been utilizing the "J-Credit system" for internal and external events, the Ise-Shima Summit, and the 87th National Urban Baseball Tournament, with the aim of contributing to the environment.
In addition, FC Tokyo has been working on environmental contributions such as donating money based on the number of goals scored in home games to the "Tokyo Green Fund", using reusable cups during game operations, and bringing their own chopsticks for business staff.
Both companies will continue to actively contribute to the improvement of regional and global environmental issues through efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental burdens.
 
※1 In home games held by FC Tokyo, CO2 is emitted due to game operations at the stadium and transportation of visitors, players, and staff. It is estimated that approximately 50t of CO2 is emitted in one home game, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by about 10,000 beech trees.

※2 The J-Credit system recognized by the government is a system in which the government certifies the reduction or absorption of greenhouse gases such as CO2 through initiatives such as the introduction of energy-saving equipment and forest management as "credits". The credits generated by this system can be used for various purposes such as achieving the goals of a low-carbon society and carbon offset.
