CORRESPONDENCES to the TCFD RECOMMENDATIONS

Being aware of the impact of climate change on sustainable growth, we are taking measures based on the TCFD Recommendations. In FY 2022, we examined possible risks and opportunities that climate change may cause in the retail business selling bags and other fashion products. We will continue to examine such risks and opportunities and disclose information appropriately.

* TCFD stands for the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
Requested by the G20 leaders, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) established the task force.

  • 01 GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE

    The Administration Manager, who is the chairperson of the Sustainability Committee, was appointed as the person in charge of climate-related issues. At the Sustainability Committee, which is an advisory committee for the director in charge of sustainability issues, members examine climate-related issues at least annually. Through the director in charge of sustainability issues, their research results are reported to the Board of Directors at least annually.

    In order to identify and assess climate-change-related risks and opportunities and examine our responses, we have established the Climate Change Working Group under the Sustainability Committee. The Climate Change Working Group reviews the climate-change-related risks and opportunities annually.

  • 02 RISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT

    The Climate Change Working Group assesses the significance of each climate-change-related risk and opportunity factor in terms of the probability of occurrence, degree of impact, whether countermeasures exist and other such factors. For the assessment, scenarios developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other such organizations are consulted and personnel in the relevant sections are interviewed as required. The assessment is revised annually. In addition, we plan countermeasures for the risks and opportunities, and keep a close eye on the progress of such countermeasures as compared to the established indexes.

    Based on the assessment made by the Climate Change Working Group, the Sustainability Committee comprehensively manages climate-change-related risks, together with other risks that we face. As for highly significant climate-change-related risks and opportunities, the committee reports them to the Board of Directors through the director in charge of sustainability issues.

  • 03 STRATEGYSTRATEGY

    [ Scenario analysis < SCENARIO ANALYSIS > ]

    In the current scenario analysis, we examined the impact that may occur in FY 2030 on the retail business selling bags and other fashion products, which is our main business. We examined two scenarios, i.e., 2-degree-centigrade and 4-degree-centigrade scenarios. In the 2-degree-centigrade scenario, the world economy is more decarbonized. In the 4-degree-centigrade scenario, the global warming is more serious without further efforts to address global warming. In our analysis, we consulted the World Energy Outlook scenarios published by the IEA, the Shared Socio-Economic Pathway (SSP) scenario adopted by the IPCC, the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenario and other future prospects and plans. For each risk or opportunity factor, we consulted scenarios forecasting larger significance.

    After extracting risks and opportunities based on the scenarios and examining countermeasures to be taken, we concluded that no significant business risks caused by climate change exist for the retail business selling bags and other fashion products.

Calculation and reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

【Past GHG emissions】

Approximately 99 percent of GHG emissions from our group companies are indirect emissions (Scope 2) due to electricity consumption and other such reasons

Unit: t-CO2 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022
Scope 1 GHG emissions from fuel use 137 125 128 132
Scope2 GHG emissions from electricity use 7,024 5,996 5,969 6,257
GHG emissions from air-conditioning 2,208 2,693 3,212 3,293
Subtotal 9,232 8,689 9,181 9,551
Total (*1) 9,370 8,814(*2) 9,309 9,683(*3)
  • *1: Consolidated GHG emissions from our group companies
  • *2: In FY 2020, our stores were temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reducing our GHG emissions.
  • *3: In FY 2022, our business gradually recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing our GHG emissions.

Most of Scope 2 GHG emissions from our group companies are caused by electricity use and air-conditioning for store operations.

Unit: t-CO2 FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022
Scope 2 GHG emissions 9,232 8,689 9,181 9,551
GHG emissions from electricity use at our stores (*1) 6,596 5,618 5,622 5,925
GHG emissions from air-conditioning at our stores (*2) 2,208 2,693 3,212 3,293
GHG emissions from other sources 428 378 347 332
Number of Tokyo Derica Co., Ltd.' s stores 626 630 608 569
Total floor area of Tokyo Derica Co., Ltd.' s stores (m²) (*1) 79,163.46 81,453.50 80,481.56 78,352.75
  • *1: As of FY 2022, Tokyo Derica Co., Ltd.' s stores had almost the same total floor area as FY 2019. Introducing more LED lighting at stores and other power saving measures, however, the CO2 emissions from our stores were reduced by 10.2 percent compared to those in FY 2019.
  • *2: Our stores emitted more CO2 from air-conditioning in FY 2022 than FY 2019. Since air-conditioning is controlled by operators of shopping malls and other such commercial facilities and our stores cannot control it directly, we are discussing with commercial facility operators, such as requesting them to supply electricity from renewable energy sources, to reduce CO2 emissions.
【Reduction of GHG emissions】

Through promoting energy-saving measures, such as having more LED lighting at our stores, we aim to reduce GHG emissions from electricity use at our stores by 47 percent by FY 2030 compared to FY 2019.

GHG emission reduction targets
GHG emission reduction measure 1:
Saving energy at our stores

When opening new stores, we will use only LED lighting to make the stores more energy-efficient.

We will renovate our existing stores to make them more energy-efficient and reduce GHG emissions.

GHG emission reduction measure 2:
Discussing with
commercial facility operators

Concerning electricity used at shopping malls and other commercial facilities, we are discussing with commercial facility operators, such as requesting them to supply electricity from renewable energy sources. If commercial facility operators agree to supply more electricity from renewable energy sources, we will be able to reduce our GHG emissions more.

  • *The above emission reduction targets are those for Tokyo Derica Co., Ltd., which emits the largest Scope 2 emissions among our group companies. (In FY 2019, Tokyo Derica Co., Ltd. emitted approximately 95 percent of the total Scope 2 emissions of our group companies.)
