「Group-wide GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) 50% reduction by 2030 (versus the fiscal year ended August 2021) 75,194 t-CO2e, up 25.0% versus the base year (versus the fiscal year ended August 2021)」
Against the 2030 target of a 50% reduction, GHG emissions in the fiscal year ended August 2025 were 75,194 t-CO2e, up 25.0% from the base year.

「GHG (Scope 1 and 2) emissions are increasing as electricity consumption and other factors rise with the growth in the number of directly operated stores in Japan and total store floor area, which increased 40.3% and 80.2%, respectively, from the fiscal year ended August 2021. Efforts to reduce emissions include installing solar power facilities at standalone stores and switching to green electricity. However, more than 90% of our stores are tenant locations in commercial facilities and other properties, and our estimates indicate that we will not reach our target by 2030 even if solar power facilities are installed at all standalone stores by then.」
GHG emissions increased as the store network expanded, reaching 28.0% above the base year in the fiscal year ended August 2023. The Company indicated that installing solar panels at standalone stores alone would not achieve the 2030 target and is considering additional renewable energy measures. - FY2023First statedAnnual report
