EDION Group recognizes that responding to climate change is one of its important management issues, and is working to reduce the environmental impact of its business activities by promoting a variety of initiatives.
Promotion of energy-saving home appliances
EDION Group is promoting the spread of energy-saving home appliances that are kind to the environment and the household budget. By providing energy-saving home appliances and services, we aim to create a society that tackles environmental issues With Our Customers.
Additionally, we support the "Cool Choice" initiative, which promotes efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to creating a carbon-free society, and are carrying out the following activities:
- Implementation of environmental education for employees
- Creation of a booklet promoting energy saving and distribution to customers
- In-store broadcasting recommended for energy-saving products
- Post posters, panels, etc. recommended for energy-saving products in the store
Promoting energy creation and conservation in stores nationwide
It is recognized that the increase in CO2 emissions due to the increased energy consumption accompanying various economic activities has accelerated global warming and has had a serious impact on the global environment. Aiming to operate in a way that reduces CO2 emissions, we are promoting the introduction of energy-saving equipment such as LED lighting and clean energy equipment, and are also working to realize a decarbonized society by providing energy-saving products and services and carrying out activities to help people understand their importance.
Installation of solar power generation system
全国87拠点の店舗・サービスセンター等に太陽光発電システムを設置しています。2024年度の発電量は、合計6,666千kwhに達し、年間2,820tのCO2の削減に貢献しています。また、2022年度からは再生可能エネルギーの活用拡大に向け、新たにPPAモデル※による太陽光発電設備の導入を行っています。今後も循環型社会や脱炭素社会の実現を目指し、再生可能エネルギーの活用に取り組んでまいります。
PPA (Power Purchase Agreement): Power purchase agreement (third-party model)
A contract type in which a company or local government provides space such as the roof of its facility or unused land to the PPA operator, who then installs power generation equipment in that space free of charge. The electricity generated is consumed by the company or local government at its own facility, and the company pays the PPA operator for the amount of electricity used.
LED照明・省エネ空調・エネルギー管理システム（EMS）の導入推進
当社は、省資源・長寿命・低消費電力に優れているLED照明の導入および省エネ空調への切替、エネルギー管理システム（EMS）の導入を推進しています。

About "Nearly ZEB" certified stores
Under the Building Energy Efficiency Labeling Scheme (BELS), we have obtained "Nearly ZEB" certification for some of our stores that opened in 2023. BELS is a system in which a third-party assessment organization evaluates and certifies the energy-saving performance of buildings, and our Gifu Masaki store is the first in EDION Group to receive this certification.

Net Zero Energy Building（ネット・ゼロ・エネルギー・ビル）の略称で、建物で消費されるエネルギーを効率化し、年間の一次エネルギー消費量をゼロにすることを目的とした建築物のこと。達成状況に応じて４段階に区分されます。
達成状況に応じて４段階に区分されるZEBの定義
- ZEB A building that reduces primary energy consumption to below 0% through energy conservation and energy creation
- Nearly ZEB A building that has reduced primary energy consumption by 25% or less through energy conservation and energy creation
- ZEB Ready A building that has reduced primary energy consumption by 50% or less through energy conservation measures
- ZEB Oriented A new category established for large buildings that are difficult to convert to "ZEB"
Various benefits of ZEB
1. Economic Effects
With the recent rise in fuel prices, electricity bills are also on the rise, but by realizing a ZEB, running costs can be reduced. The initial cost of capital investment is by no means small, but when balanced with running costs, it is possible to achieve both economic and environmental friendliness.
2. Improving spatial quality
Generally, energy conservation and power saving are thought of as something that one has to endure, but by converting to a ZEB, the noise of the air conditioning will be quieter and the temperature and humidity will be stabilized. This will allow customers to enjoy shopping in a comfortable space, and we can expect to see improvements in the ease of working of store staff and their productivity.
3. BCP* measures for emergencies
Even if a natural disaster cuts off the external power supply, stores that have reduced energy consumption through ZEB initiatives will be able to continue business activities for a certain period of time using only renewable energy generated by solar power. Initially, ZEB initiatives were aimed at achieving the goal of decarbonization, but they have also produced various benefits and led to increased corporate value.

Installation of charging station for electric vehicles
当社は、脱炭素社会の実現に向けて、インフラ整備を通じて電気自動車（EV）やプラグインハイブリット自動車（PHV）の普及に貢献するため、EVおよびPHV用の充電スタンドを全国46店舗に設置しています。充電時間が短い200Vの普通充電スタンドを採用しており、プリウスPHV（トヨタ）、eKクロス EV（三菱）、リーフ（日産）など各メーカーの車種に対応しています。
Providing services that realize energy saving and power saving
エネルギーを効率よく利用し、自然環境への影響を軽減することは、環境保全活動の中でも重要な取り組みの一つとして認識されています。エネルギーを効率化するためには、エネルギーの使用状況を把握し、それに応じた対策をとることが重要です。最適なエネルギー利用をサポートするエネルギー管理システム（EMS）では、エネルギーの使用状況を見える化し、管理、分析といった全般的なエネルギーマネジメントが可能となり、エネルギー利用を効率化することができます。エディオンは、家庭向けEMSである「エディスマHEMS※」と、店舗・ビル向けのEMSである「エディスマBEMS」を事業として展開し、省エネと節電を実現するサービスを提供することで、温室効果ガスの削減に貢献しています。
※機器の販売は2018年10月31日をもって終了いたしました。
