On November 3, 2021 (Wed, holiday), FC Tokyo will hold the 2021 Meiji Yasuda Life J1 League Sec. 34 match against Shimizu S-Pulse at Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Hinatao Energy Co., Ltd. will use the "J-Credit System" to offset all CO2 (30t※2) emitted during the match. 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 J1 League Sec. 34 match against Shimizu S-Pulse, which will be held by FC Tokyo at Ajinomoto Stadium on November 3 (Wed, holiday), using the J-Credit System.

□Efforts of Tokyo Gas, Hinatao Energy, and FC Tokyo for Environmental Activities
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 In home games hosted by FC Tokyo, CO2 is emitted due to energy consumption in stadium operations and transportation of visitors, players, and staff. It is estimated that approximately 30t of CO2 is emitted in one 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.
