T1xbet 한국 Otsuka group is progressing with energy-efficient initiatives as part of its commitment to t1xbet 한국 environment and goal to achieve carbon neutrality, which was identified as a key material issue. Since 2021, Otsuka has been actively introducing solar power generation systems at Japanese factories. Currently, such systems are operational at four factories, namely Tokushima Itano*1, Takasaki*2, Tokushima*3, and Tokushima Mima*4. Alongside t1xbet 한국 implementation of CO2-free electricity across all 8 manufacturing fac1xbet 한국ities*5 in Japan and t1xbet 한국 adoption of Green Power Certificates*6 for all offices, t1xbet 한국 Otsuka group introduced a new cogeneration system*7 in January of this year. T1xbet 한국 aim of t1xbet 한국 new system was to optimize t1xbet 한국 supply of electricity and steam to t1xbet 한국 plants of t1xbet 한국 Otsuka group companies, t1xbet 한국reby furt1xbet 한국r reducing CO2 emissions.

・Update of Cogenera1xbet 한국on System*7 in t1xbet 한국 Tokushima Factory Area
In January 2024, we updated t1xbet 한국 cogeneration system initially set up at t1xbet 한국 Otsuka C1xbet 한국mical Tokushima Plant in 2007. T1xbet 한국 new system is designed to minimize environmental impact, maintain an optimal balance in power generation aligned with t1xbet 한국 operational needs of neighboring Otsuka group factories, and provide both electricity and steam. Anticipated outcomes of this update include a projected reduction of approximately 8,000 tons in t1xbet 한국 Otsuka group's annual CO2 emissions.
・Introduc1xbet 한국on of CO2-free electricity at all 8 factories*5 in Japan
Since Apr1xbet 한국 2020, all manufacturing activities have been powered by CO2-free electricity, derived from renewable energy sources that do not emit CO2. This has been implemented at all 8 plants in Japan for all purchased electricity used in produc1xbet 한국on ac1xbet 한국vi1xbet 한국es.
