Initiatives for Environmentally Friendly Products

The Joshin Group has long been promoting the sale of environmentally friendly products. In particular, we actively recommend environmentally friendly air conditioners and refrigerators, since they are used frequently throughout the year.

Our aim is not only to help reduce GHG emissions, but also to lessen the household electricity cost burden amid rising energy prices, allowing customers to stay comfortable while conserving energy.

[Target categories]
• Refrigerators: 450 L or larger, rated three stars or higher under the unified energy-saving label system, with an automatic ice-maker
• Air conditioners: Two stars or higher under the energy-saving label system (no star requirements for units at 5.0 kW or above), featuring automatic filter cleaning, auto-louver control, and high-power cooling/heating performance that is unaffected by outside temperature
• Drum-type washer-dryers
• Instant-heating warm-water washing toilet seats

Avoided Emissions through Environmentally Friendly Products

For the above, we set a replacement cycle guideline using refrigerators, air conditioners, and instant-heating warm-water washing toilet seats made in FY2013 as the base models. Based on this, the reduction contribution was calculated by comparing the difference in GHG emissions that would result if the same number of environmentally friendly products sold during FY2021–FY2024 had been sold instead of the baseline models.
