～Supporting carbon neutrality for small and medium-sized enterprises with data and digital technology～
……
Yamanashi Chuo Bank, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yamanashi Chuo Bank), Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as TEPCO HD), TEPCO Energy Partner Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as TEPCO EP), Tepco Customer Service Co., Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as TCS) The four companies today signed a comprehensive partnership agreement to achieve carbon neutrality (CN) in the region centered on Yamanashi Prefecture.
In Japan, small and medium-sized enterprises account for approximately 20% of the total greenhouse gas emissions, and in order to realize the 2050 CN, it is extremely important for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage in CN.
The four companies will leverage their respective strengths and collaborate to revitalize customers’ CN initiatives by providing integrated consulting and solutions tailored to the CN issues of mid-sized and small-to-medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, we aim to realize a regional CN.
[Background of the initiative]
The Yamanashi Central Bank has set the goal of realizing CN by fiscal 2030, and has implemented measures such as introducing an electricity rate menu with environmental value provided by Yamanashi Prefecture and TEPCO EP, and introducing ultra-compact battery electric vehicles to replace gasoline cars. We are working towards achieving our goals. In addition, we handle finance to realize a sustainable society, including sustainable finance, and have accelerated efforts to resolve local environmental and social issues.
On the other hand, the TEPCO Group has set a goal of reducing CO2 emissions from electricity sales by 50% in FY2030 compared to FY2013, and reducing CO2 emissions from energy supply to virtually zero by FY2050. While promoting the reduction of our own CO2 emissions, we have been considering ways to utilize power big data, digital technology, etc. in order to provide added value to our customers in order to realize a CN society.
This time, the Yamanashi Central Bank, which recognizes local issues and supports the local economy, and the Tokyo Electric Power Company Group, which has know-how in energy management and energy conservation as an energy provider, are collaborating to provide effective initiatives for customers. We will continue to contribute to the realization of regional CN.
