An approach that recognizes climate change as a critical issue for the company and promotes a cumulative effort in energy-saving activities and improvements in work processes.

This is a message from the top that sounds the alarm on the current state of global warming, which is leading to Japan's subtropicalization, due to the recent abnormal typhoons and rising temperatures. It discusses the realistic approaches that companies should take. It points out that achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is an extremely high barrier, particularly due to the increased power consumption from the rapid rise of data centers.
