Nichiha Group has always positioned efforts to reduce the environmental burden as an important theme in corporate management, and has focused on environmental measures throughout the group. We have now set reduction targets for CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 2)for major domestic Nichiha Group companies with the aim of realizing a sustainable society.We will continue to try various methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We are working to develop environmentally friendly products and services that meet the needs of society by utilizing the wood resource utilization technology we have cultivated since our founding. The use of these wood resources contributes to forest development (thinning and reforestation) in Japan, which in turn helps protect the global environment, including biodiversity.
One of our representative initiatives is the "Nichiha Eco Exterior Wall Project." This project uses domestic wood chips as the raw material for its main products, trapping the CO2 absorbed by wood (long-term fixation), while using ultra-high weather resistance paint to extend the life of the exterior walls and reduce the number of maintenance works, thereby contributing to reducing waste generated there. In addition, Nichiha's unique construction method, the Nichiha MARC System, is a construction method suitable for remodeling RC structures, etc., and contributes to the longevity of the building itself.
Furthermore, in order to build a recycling-oriented society, we have also developed a scrap material collection and recycling system, which helps promote recycling and reduce waste.
It is a "certification system related to the burden placed on the environment from the manufacture to disposal of a product."
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is used to evaluate the environmental burden from design and construction to demolition and disposal (recycling) as a means of indicating the environmental performance of a building, and in order to quantify it, a method is used to add up the LCA of each building material and equipment, as well as the environmental burden caused by manufacturing, but an effective method for indicating the LCA of reliable building materials is EPD (Environmental Label Type III) certification, which complies with ISO14025. For more information, please refer the EPD website.
