On November 3, 2021 (Wednesday, holiday), at Ajinomoto Stadium, FC Tokyo will hold the 2021 Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company J1 League Sec. 34 match against Shimizu S-Pulse, and all CO2 (30t※2) emitted will be offset by TOKYO GAS CO.,LTD and Hinatao Energy Co., Ltd. using the "J-Credit System※3". We would like to inform you of this.


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

□About the environmental activities of TOKYO GAS, Hinatao Energy, and FC Tokyo
Tokyo Gas utilizes the "J-Credit System" at internal and external events and FC Tokyo home games for the purpose of environmental contribution.
Hinata Energy provides easily deployable renewable energy through solar energy services for buildings and apartments, and is working towards achieving a decarbonized society. Please note that this is the first time we are utilizing the "J-Credit System".
In addition, FC Tokyo has been working on environmental contributions such as the recycling activity of PET bottles collected at the game venue "ECO Pass Project in Ajinomoto Stadium", the use of reusable cups during game operations, and the use of personal chopsticks by business staff.
The three companies will continue to actively contribute to the improvement of regional and global environmental issues through efforts to reduce environmental impact, including CO2 reduction.



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

⇙※2 During home games hosted by FC Tokyo, CO2 is emitted due to energy consumption in stadium operations and the transportation of visitors, players, and staff. It is estimated that approximately 30 tons of CO2 are emitted per home game, which is equivalent to the amount of CO2 absorbed by about 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.
