Sustainability awareness activities/internal awards

We hold sustainability study sessions for management across all Tanseisha Group companies. We also provide sustainability training (e-learning) for all executives and employees, including information on sustainability in general. In particular, we incorporate appropriate content into the training on "human rights," a topic that is particularly relevant to our group's business, to ensure that the Tanseisha Group Human Rights Policy is understood, embedded in business activities, and implemented effectively. We also provide separate training focused on the themes of "compliance" and "harassment." Regarding the "environment," we conduct training aimed at putting our environmental policy into practice.
We also hold the Sustainability Solution Awards, which invites company-wide submissions of projects that contribute to sustainability and awards them internally. We also use the awards as an opportunity to raise awareness within the company, providing an opportunity to present details of the winning projects and share information within the company. We also hold seminars both internally and externally with the aim of improving basic understanding of sustainability. Furthermore, we foster awareness of sustainability by providing education (workshops) by external lecturers for selected members.
We create, update, and maintain a portfolio of achievements and pamphlets based on information on our achievements and activities so that we can introduce our sustainability-related initiatives to external stakeholders. We also use this information to make proposals to clients on how to promote sustainability in spatial design.

SBT (Science Based Targets) initiative

Our company considers reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our business activities to be a key issue. We endorse the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an international climate change initiative, and are setting and promoting reduction targets that are consistent with its standards.
Our "Near-Term Targets" set for fiscal year 2030 are based on scientific knowledge from organizations such as the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and are calculated backward from the goal of achieving net-zero global GHG emissions by 2050, aligning with the scientifically-based reduction pace required of companies. These targets were validated by the SBTi in September 2026 as scientifically-based targets.
