Hulic has positioned the environment business as one of the 3K businesses (Kanko (tourism), Koreisha (seniors), and Kankyo (environment)), which are priority sectors, and is stepping up its initiatives in environmentally conscious management. In line with this, the company has newly developed a CO2 emissions reduction plan for 2030 as part of the c... ompany's long-term environmental vision, in order to respond to society's needs to address escalating environmental issues. Under this plan, the company aims to reduce total CO2 emissions by 45% from 2013 to 2030. The company will work to achieve the target by carrying out facility renovations of the company's existing buildings and newly acquired buildings, and positively implementing energy-saving measures, such as introducing natural lighting systems in new buildings. In fiscal year 2016, Hulic obtained patents for a natural lighting system, co-developed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and photovoltaic panels, developed jointly with Taiyo Kogyo Corporation and Gifu Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. This will be the company's first step in launching revenue-generating businesses in the environmental field.
