Challenges and Opportunities

Commitment

The Company is committed to being a part of the solution to climate change, recognizing that climate change is an issue that affects the sustainability and well-being of humanity. Globally, efforts have been made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate its impact. The Company places importance on the Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO), which began in 2022, to acknowledge the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from the Company’s activities and to monitor the results of activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Risk Management and Opportunities

The Company assesses climate-related risks and opportunities to identify the types of risks it may face. The Company places importance on potential risks and opportunities in order to develop action plans that mitigate adverse impacts. The Company evaluates both physical risks and transition risks across three time horizons: short-term (1–3 years), medium-term (3–10 years), and long-term (over 10 years). The assessment of climate-related opportunities also considers potential impacts on financial reporting. These assessments are conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and IFRS S2.

Climate-related Risk Assessment

  • Decline in Available Capital Due to Negative Corporate Image and Reputation.

Physical Risk

Climate-Related Risk Potential Financial Impacts

Acute

  • Cyclones and floods.

Chronic

  • Changes in precipitation patterns and extreme variability in weather patterns.
  • Rising mean temperatures.
  • Rising sea levels.
  • Increased Operating Costs Due to Business Disruption from Natural Disasters.
  • Decline in revenue due to business disruptions (e.g., store closures, transportation issues, supply chain interruptions).

  • Increased costs for repairing damaged store and implementing preventive operational measures.
  • Capital expenditures for constructing new store.
  • Increased costs for flood response and mitigation efforts.
  • Increased insurance premiums and potential for reduced availability of insurance on assets in “high-risk” locations

Management Approach and Value Creation

Management guidelines

The Company operates a retail business specializing in construction materials and home decoration products, so its activities inherently consume energy and natural resources. Acknowledging its environmental impact, the Company is committed to reducing both direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions. Key initiatives include transitioning from fuel-based equipment, tools, and vehicles to electric alternatives, utilizing solar energy to replace transmission-line electricity, and adopting energy conservation measures to reduce electricity consumption, which accounts for 58% of the Company’s total greenhouse gas emissions. These efforts reflect the Company’s dedication to sustainability and minimizing its carbon footprint.
