Working Together to Realize a Sustainable Society

JERA is Japan’s largest power generation company, and as a global energy leader, we are committed to addressing the world’s energy challenges. We are pursuing net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 through a combination of renewable energy and zero-CO2-emission thermal power generation fueled by hydrogen and ammonia. As global economic growth and digital transformation continues to drive energy demand, balancing stable energy supply with decarbonization in a socially sustainable way presents a significant challenge. Together with our partners and stakeholders, we aim to build a cleaner energy supply infrastructure and help realize a more sustainable society.

Taking on the Challenge of Decarbonization Through Co-Creation with Society

Realizing a decarbonized society starts with transforming the shipping and logistics industries that underpin global supply chains. To that end, we are developing next-generation vessels powered primarily by ammonia, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. At the same time, we are driving innovation and co-creation with a wide range of stakeholders through GX initiatives that leverage the unique characteristics of the shipping industry. One example is the world’s first floating offshore data center powered entirely by renewable energy, now being advanced toward practical implementation through a consortium of partner companies. Moving forward, we will continue to work closely with all stakeholders committed to accelerating GX across the shipping industry and society at large.

With an enterprising spirit at our core, we are committed to contributing to society through a stable energy supply and the advancement of decarbonization under the Daigas Group’s Energy Transition 2050 initiative. Building on the vision for GX (Green Transformation) we showcased at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, we are accelerating progress across a wide range of initiatives, including methanation and other emerging technologies, commercial-scale e-methane plants, expanded biomethane adoption, and the broader deployment of renewable energy and battery storage. Through these diverse pathways, we will continue advancing innovation to realize our commitment — “Secure peace of mind today, build sustainable lifestyles for tomorrow.”

Striving to Be a Partner That Tackles Challenges Together

In FY2026, sustainability management has reached a major turning point in which its real-world effectiveness is being put to the test. As we work alongside numerous companies and local governments, we have come to recognize the various needs and desires for us to stand with them as a partner in confronting each challenge. We leverage AI and other advanced technologies for greater efficiency, allowing us to devote more time and resources to addressing and overcoming the real challenges each organization faces. We at e-dash will continue to apply our proven expertise and capabilities as we work alongside you to turn ideals into practical realities.

Fostering a Sustainable Society Through Our Store Network

In 2019, we announced our environmental declaration, GREEN CHALLENGE 2050, designed to aid in passing on the rich global environment—the foundation of all economic activity—to future generations. The declaration sets forth specific targets and long-term visions for 2030 and 2050. Our Group works together as one to reduce our environmental impact through the introduction of a wide range of new technologies and the creation of a circular society in collaboration with customers, business partners, and local communities, among other efforts.

We engage with consumers through more than 86,000 stores worldwide, and we are committed to working with our customers to help realize a sustainable and prosperous society through our products and services.

Accelerating Social Implementation from the Consumer’s Perspective

Earth hacks is a joint venture established by Mitsui & Co. and Hakuhodo Inc. to promote GX through a consumer-centered approach, particularly among Gen Z. Through initiatives such as the Decarbo Score, which visualizes the reduction rate of CO2 emissions achieved through environmentally conscious choices, and the Gen Z co-creation project Decarbo Challenge, we help consumers better understand the environmental value of products and everyday actions while encouraging proactive decarbonization behavior. Going forward, we will continue to accelerate the implementation of GX initiatives in society with consumers, businesses, and local governments in close collaboration, by expanding accessible and practical low-carbon choices in everyday life.

Supporting GX from Both Regional and Markets Perspectives

The DBJ Group promotes a form of sustainability management that balances economic and social value that aims to realize a sustainable society.

Currently, we have identified materiality issues, including the formation of sustainable infrastructure, technical innovations and restructuring of industry, regional revitalization utilizing untapped potential, and creation of markets and safety nets in the finance sector. We are implementing initiatives that leverage our integrated investment and loan services and knowledge, in areas such as expanding the use of decarbonized power sources and enhancing the environmental performance of real estate.

We will support social implementation of GX from both regional and market perspectives and contribute to the sustainable advancement of society.
