In recent years, businesses have increasingly been called on to step up their response to climate change. We expect this trend will put our company in a position where we face both risks and opportunities. With this in mind, we are nurturing active internal discussion on how to decarbonize our businesses. To this end, we have established internal carbon pricing of investments related to new projects and decided to carry out trial-basis investment studies that reference the economic impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
