On November 3, 2021 (Wed, holiday), FC Tokyo will hold the 2021 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Sec. 34 match against Shimizu S-Pulse at Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Hinatao Energy Co., Ltd. will use the "J-Credit System" to offset all CO2 (30t※2) emitted during the match. Please be informed.


□Implementation Details
Tokyo Gas and Hinatao Energy will offset all CO2 emitted during the 2021 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Sec. 34 match against Shimizu S-Pulse, which will be held by FC Tokyo at Ajinomoto Stadium on November 3 (Wed, holiday), using the J-Credit System.

□Efforts of Tokyo Gas, Hinatao Energy, and FC Tokyo for Environmental Activities
Tokyo Gas utilizes the "J-Credit System" at internal and external events and FC Tokyo home games for the purpose of environmental contribution.
Hinatao Energy provides renewable energy that is easy to introduce to buildings and apartments through solar energy services, and is working towards achieving a decarbonized society. This will be the first time the "J-Credit System" is utilized.
In addition, FC Tokyo has been working on environmental contributions such as the "ECO Pass Project in Ajinomoto" which collects and recycles PET bottles at the game venue, as well as using reusable cups during game operations and encouraging business staff to bring their own chopsticks.
The three companies will continue to actively contribute to improving regional and global environmental issues through efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts.



※1 Carbon offset is a concept of offsetting greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2 that cannot be avoided in daily life and economic activities. It involves efforts to reduce emissions as much as possible and investing in activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are inevitably emitted, in order to compensate for the emitted greenhouse gases.

⇙※2 At home games hosted by FC Tokyo, CO2 is emitted due to energy consumption in stadium operations and transportation of visitors, players, and staff. It is estimated that about 30t of CO2 is emitted in one home game, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by approximately 2000 cedar trees in one year.

※3 J-Credit System is a system in which the government certifies the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and absorption, such as CO2, through efforts such as introducing energy-saving equipment and forest management, as "credits". These credits can be used for various purposes such as achieving the goals of a low-carbon society and carbon offset.
