Tokyo Gas will offset all CO2 emissions generated during the three home games of FC Tokyo in May and June at Ajinomoto Stadium in the 2017 Meiji Yasuda J1 League by utilizing the J-Credit system.
TOKYO GAS CO.,LTD and FC Tokyo's Environmental Activities
Tokyo Gas has been utilizing the "J-Credit System" at internal and external events, the Ise-Shima Summit, and the 87th National Urban Baseball Tournament for the purpose of environmental contribution.
In addition, FC Tokyo has been working on environmental contributions, such as donating money based on the number of goals scored in home games to the "Tokyo Green Fund", using reusable cups during game operations, and encouraging business staff to bring their own chopsticks.
Both companies will continue to actively contribute to improving regional and global environmental issues through efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts.
※1 In home games hosted by FC Tokyo, CO2 is emitted due to game operations at the stadium and transportation of visitors, players, and staff. It is estimated that approximately 50t of CO2 is emitted in one home game, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by about 10,000 beech trees.
※2 The J-Credit system, certified by the government, is a system in which the country certifies the amount of greenhouse gases such as CO2 reduced or absorbed through initiatives such as the introduction of energy-saving equipment and forest management as "credits". The credits generated by this system can be used for various purposes such as achieving the goals of a low-carbon society and carbon offsetting.
