Environmental Accounting

Costs associated with environmental conservation
(Environmental accounting)

We have adopted environmental accounting as a guideline for corporate activities to grasp the costs associated with environmental conservation. However, calculating the monetary value produced by environmental conservation effects is difficult because the calculation requires numerous assumptions. For this reason, we evaluate them in terms of environmental conservation performance and report the results in this document and on our website.
