2. Electricity usage

As with greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions, Ryosan has been able to continuously reduce usage through the actions of individual employees and the replacement of air conditioners with energy-efficient ones. In FY 2020, the air conditioner operating rate increased in line with the constant ventilation at the Corona disaster, resulting in a slight increase compared to the previous year.

Electricity Usage Annual Trends

3. Gasoline usage

In FY2020, there was a significant decrease compared to FY2019, mainly due to the use of online meeting systems.

4. Gas usage

In FY 2019, the air conditioners at the Kawasaki General Operations Center, which account for the majority of gas use, were replaced with energy-efficient types, resulting in a significant reduction compared to FY 2018. In FY 2020, we maintained the same level as in FY 2019.

Gas Usage Annual Trends

5. Copy paper consumption

Ryosan has continued to reduce the amount of paper it uses by going paperless, reusing lined paper, and thoroughly reducing, consolidating, and double-sided printing.

Copy paper consumption

6. Recycling Ratio

Ryosan reuses furniture and fixtures that are no longer needed, disposes of them separately, and disposes of large quantities as recycled resources. The reason why the recycling rate for FY2020 is lower than that of FY2019 is due to a temporary increase in waste caused by the consolidation of bases.
