ESGEnvironment(Efforts for improving environment)Solar walls [AEON MALL Zama]We are promoting the development of towns that harmonize well with the local environment through the utilization of natural energy and the introduction of the latest technologies for reducing environmental loads.Energy conservation / natural energy utilizationWe have achieved almost 100% adoption rate in common areas of our shopping malls all over Japan.As we are calling on the specialty stores to adopt LED lighting when a new mall opens or the store is renovated, switching to LED light-ing is in progress at the specialty stores.Adoption of LED lighting Earlier than other commercial facilities, we have been generating electricity while utiliz-ing natural energy by installing solar power generation systems in phases, and some malls adopt a system capable of utilizing electricity even during a power failure.Solar power generationWe are a member of the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) whereby we contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emis-sions in cooperation with other countries and share the results through the dissemination of excellent low-carbon technologies.At AEON MALL Sen Sok City (Cambodia) which opened in May 2018, a solar power generation facility is installed on the rooftop. It has been adopted as FY2016 JCM equipment subsidy project of Ministry of the Environment, Japan.Participation in the equipment subsidy project of the Joint Crediting MechanismHaving set specic quantitative goals for our global environment and living environments under the “AEON eco Project” on which the AEON group is working, we are striving to achieve the goals by 2020.

We will strive to realize a “carbon-free society” towards 2050 through vari-ous activities such as the utilization of renewable energy and the promotion of energy conservation. Now there are 11 stores of “Smart AEON”, a model environmentally friendly type store on which we have been working, in the AEON group (out of which 10 stores are managed by AEON MALL). We are also working on the development of more advanced “Next-generation Smart AEON” from the decarbonation perspective, and AEON MALL Zama (Kanagawa Prefecture) reduced CO2 emissions by 30% compared to AEON's standard stores.Promoting “AEON Decarbonation Vision 2050” AEON MALL CSR / ESG Report 201934SDGsSustainable Development Goals
