Have you ever heard of "decarbonization"? Decarbonization refers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere to almost zero to reduce the damage caused by climate change. Japan's carbon dioxide emissions in 2013 were 1.24 billion tons, and the goal is to reduce it to 0.67 billion tons in 2030. In addition, in October 2020, the Japanese government announced plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide and methane, to zero by 2050 to achieve carbon neutrality.

 

Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. has developed a long-term vision for a decarbonized society, "Mission TREEING 2030 」. We will make full use of our advantages and maximize the value of forests and trees to carry out business activities. Contribute to a decarbonized society by promoting carbon sequestration in wood, increasing the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by forests, and long-term carbon sequestration in wooden buildings. Sumitomo Forestry is also involved in the development of a 15-story wooden office building in Melbourne, Australia, which is scheduled to be completed this year. "Net zero carbon buildings" will become one of the important projects to achieve a decarbonized society.

 

Since last year, we have been commissioned by our agency to calculate the carbon dioxide emissions of buildings, etc., through the "One Click LCA(LifeCycle Assessment)" software, we can calculate and visualize the carbon dioxide emissions of buildings.

 

Achieving a decarbonized society requires not only the efforts of governments and businesses, but also the efforts of each of us. We can start with simple things, such as setting the temperature of the air conditioner, adjusting the temperature of the refrigerator according to seasonal changes, reducing unnecessary lighting, and using bicycles or public transportation as much as possible. If we can walk, we Try to walk. Let's start with these simple little things and stick to them.

 

Hand in hand to protect the earth, watch the future together.
