Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions at Large GHG-Emitting Business Establishments

This Program has for its purposes to prevent global warming by reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases,
including carbon dioxide, stemming from business activities. Under the Program, business establishments
producing significantly large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions are required to submit Tokyo CO2 Emission
Reduction Plan, and this plan is evaluated and announced.

＜Basic Principles of the Program＞

A mechanism that allows efforts by business Measures against global warming also help to alleviate

◆ Applicable emitters under the Program are those persons who install or manage business establishments that
fall under the following category in terms of energy consumption:
● Business establishments whose consumption of fuel, heat and electricity totals:

1,500 kl of crude oil equivalent or more per annum

* Heat and electricity must be supplied by outside sources only. Thermal or electric energy gained from the conversion of renewable
energy sources is excluded.
* Those business operators who have already submitted Tokyo CO2 Emission Reduction Plan voluntarily before the revision to the
requirement are not needed to submit a plan even if the revised requirement imposes the obligation to submit a plan on them.
＜Exemplary Applicable Business Establishments＞ Business establishments that do not fall under the
Mining and manufacturing factories, incineration plants, district heating and category of applicable business establishments are
cooling service providers, water and sewerage facilities, office buildings permitted to submit Tokyo CO2 Emission Reduction
(including single and multiple tenant buildings), department stores, hotels,
hospitals, schools, government buildings, computer centers (computer service Plan.
buildings), halls and theaters, and other research facilities and laboratories.
● Small and medium-sized business establishments
* Public facilities held by the central and local governments are included.
● Convenience stores and supermarkets
* Electricity industry utilities' power generation facilities are not covered
by this Program but by the Tokyo Green Energy Program under the
Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance.

Evaluation of Plans
● The Tokyo Metropolitan Government evaluates plans in
accordance with the Evaluation Standards:
・ Evaluate plans in accordance with uniform standards on the Business operators who are active in
formulation of targets and results of reductions carrying out global warming control
・ Evaluate plans, interim reports and final reports measures are highly rated.
・ Award Official Commendations to business establishments for
outstanding achievements

Rating on a Scale Taking Account of Past Measures Too

① Award a good rating for the formulation and
implementation of effective energy-saving equipment
measures
② Award a good rating for the effects of energy-saving
equipment measures and reductions in total emissions
③ Make an overall evaluation with due consideration for
vehicle exhaust fume reduction measures and other
extensive measures
① Award a rating for all basic measures taken in the
past
② Award as high a rating as measures taken during a
planned period for active measures taken over the
past three fiscal years

Announcement of Plans and Others Enhancement of Measures to Deal with Tenants

● Announcement by business operators: ● For single and multiple tenant buildings (buildings on lease), building
・ Plans and progress reports owners are responsible for formulating and pushing ahead with a
● Announcement by TMG: global warming control plan for the building as a whole.
・ Plans and others submitted by business operators
・ A list of activities and measures taken by a business operator ・ Tenants: Are required to cooperate in a plan formulated by the
building owner. (Large-scale tenants must formulate a
・ Ratings
plan for measures they should carry out.)
* This mechanism ensures that business operators who are actively
committed to global warming control are duly rated in society and in
the marketplace. Both Building Owners and Tenants Promote Measures

＜To Get a Higher Rating＞ When a building owner and tenants work together to carry out difficult reduction measures, these measures will be treated
as measures designed to achieve targets that would give a higher rating.
