Basic Policy Regarding the Environment

Seven & i Holdings recognizes preservation of the global environment as an essential issue in conducting our business. Under our Corporate Action Guidelines, we seek to address environmental issues such as climate change and conservation of biodiversity, not only by complying with environmental laws and regulations, but also by pursuing efforts to reduce our environmental impact through the whole supply chain from product and service development, manufacturing, and distribution to sales and disposal. In addition to our Corporate Action Guidelines, we have also established the Environmental Guidelines / Environmental Rules.

Policy on Environment (Excerpt from the Corporate Action Guidelines “Environmental Management”)

  • We take special care for sustainability of resources and the environment in developing and manufacturing our products and services, sell those with low environmental impact, not to mention safe products, and propose eco-conscious lifestyles.
  • We seek for reduction of energy usage by assuring environmental management in our stores and offices and considering introduction of energy efficient facilities and leveraging of renewable energy (such as natural energy using the sunlight, solar heat, wind power, and the like).
  • We endeavor to push ahead with waste reduction, at the same time efficiently recycling waste that could be turned into a resource and stressing use of recycled materials, for realization of a recycling-oriented society* that efficiently leverages limited resources.
  • We strive to reduce the environmental impact by reducing use of containers and packaging materials and selling products that donate part of their sales proceeds, with cooperation and participation of customers.
  • We, in an effort to reduce the environmental impact throughout the supply chain, pay attention to environment conservation activities by business partners and cooperate with them.
  • We recognize preservation of the global environment as an essential issue in conducting our business and endeavor to cultivate environmental awareness of employees so that each one of them understands the importance of the preservation of the global environment and pursues efforts to reduce the environmental impact in one’s daily life.
  • We engage in activities by setting our own yearly goals and disclose the results in an accurate, reliable, and timely manner.
