LONDON: Japan's largest homebuilder Daiwa House Industry joins today our RE100 and EP100 programs, both committing to source its electricity use from 100% renewable energy sources by 2040 and doubling the energy productivity of its business activities by the same date.
Daiwa House Industry is the first Japanese company to join EP100 and the first construction company to join both campaigns at the same time. Mike Peirce, Corporate Partnerships Director, The Climate Group, said: “Congratulations to Daiwa House – today’s announcement is a double first for Japan and the entire construction sector.”
“Daiwa House has put cleaner, smarter energy at the heart of its business strategy, knowing it will bring down emissions and boost the bottom line. By committing to EP100 and RE100, and investing in renewable energy generation, storage and innovative technologies, the company is demonstrating tangible leadership to its customers and peers.”
ZERO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
RE100, brought to you by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP -as part of the We Mean Business coalition- gathers the world's most influential companies committed to 100% renewable power, helping them to share their success stories – and speaking with one voice to help policymakers accelerating the scale-up of renewables in the market.
EP100 is helping companies to use better energy, better: by doubling the economic output from every unit of energy consumed, companies are essentially doing more with less and are already demonstrating both the business case and the environmental benefits of reducing their energy demand.
Daiwa House Group is already on this pathway with its long-term environmental vision, called “Challenge Zero 2055”: by that date, the company’s centennial, the group aims to achieve zero environmental impact.
