Environmental Performance Targets and Results

SPI and the Asset Management Company continuously monitor energy usage in the common areas of portfolio properties as much as possible and promote reduction of their environmental load. Our environmental performance targets and results are as follows.

Environmental Performance Targets

Item Reduction Target
Energy usage Cut energy consumption intensity 5% from FY2021 to FY2026(average 1% per year)
GHG(CO2)emissions Cut energy consumption intensity 5% from FY2021 to FY2026(average 1% per year)
Water usage Avoid increasing water consumption intensity from FY2021(±0)

Environmental Performance Results

Item FY2021 FY2022
Energy usage Total(MWh) 2,281 2,148
Intensity(MWh/m2) 0.051 0.047
GHG(CO2)emissions Total(t-CO2) 979 222
Intensity(t-CO2/m2) 0.022 0.005
Water usage Total(m3) 961 824
Intensity(m3/m2) 0.027 0.022
  • The aggregation period is May to April of each year.
  • The energy usage, GHG(CO2) emissions and water usage results are aggregated from only the common areas of each property.
  • GHG(CO2) emissions are calculated by the Asset Management Company based on adjusted emission coefficients, etc. published by the Ministry of the Environment for each electricity utility.
