Basic Policy

Basic Policy

1. Promote reduction of CO₂ emissions in business activities

We strive to preserve the forests and parks on our properties, and we are working toward CO2 reduction using methods such as cogeneration that utilizes waste heat.

2. Reduce waste and promote recycling of resources

As part of our contributions to a recycling-oriented society, we are conserving resources and using other methods such as recycling to reduce our waste output. We also make efforts to use resources in ways that are beneficial to the environment.

3. Contributions to biodiversity, local environment preservation, and the reduction of water usage

We recognize that water resources are essential to not only our business activities, but also to local communities' livelihoods, food production, and the preservation of biodiversity. We conserve water resources by using water-efficient shower heads and toilets in guest rooms, reclaimed water for toilet flushing, and various other efforts. In addition, by reducing our plastic usage and switching to products that are beneficial to the environment, we help contribute to biodiversity and local environment preservation.

4. Raise employees' awareness of the environment

We are increasing awareness of environmental issues through employee training and dedicated efforts at our business locations.

Initiatives

CO₂ Emissions Reduction and Energy Management

Sustainable Energy Use

We are working to reduce CO₂ emissions through the introduction of cogeneration systems, utilization of hot spring and steam heat, and 100% non-fossil certificate electricity, among other measures.

Eco-Cleaning of Guest Rooms and Promotion of No-Cleaning Options; Introduction of Low-Environmental-Impact Amenities

We promote eco-cleaning (simple cleaning consisting only of garbage disposal, towel exchange, and amenity replenishment) and no-cleaning options for guests staying multiple nights, with their cooperation. This helps reduce greenhouse gases as well as water and energy used for laundry. In addition, we contribute to a circular economy by introducing guest room amenities with low plastic content.

Installation of Water Dispensers and Sale of Eco-Bottles

As part of our efforts to reduce plastic waste, we have installed water dispensers. We also created and sell eco-bottles to promote this initiative.

Support for Afforestation and Tree-Cultivation Activities

The entire company participates in the “MOTTAINAI Campaign.” We sell plans that donate part of the accommodation fee to afforestation activities under the “Green Belt Movement.”

Reducing waste and promoting recycling of resources

Food Loss Reduction

We engage in various initiatives to reduce food loss, including participation in the “MOTTAINAI Campaign,” registration with “TABETE,” and implementation of the “3010 Movement.”

Waste material recycling

We also participate in food recycling efforts such as the “Fry to Fly Project” (reuse of used cooking oil).
Food recycling: Amounts recycled (Apr. to Mar. of following year for Fujita Kanko Inc.)
FY 2022: 213 metric tons
FY 2023: 242 metric tons
FY 2024: 253 metric tons

Waste Reduction

In addition to installing bio-composters (kitchen waste processors), we recycle various items (futons, umbrellas, etc.). We also actively suppress waste by installing amenity stations in guest rooms and collecting empty amenity containers.

Conserving biodiversity and local environments

Conservation of Company-Owned Land and Promotion of Natural Circulation

On our owned properties, we support firefly habitats, engage in urban beekeeping, participate in the “30 by 30” Alliance, and implement other measures to promote natural circulation. In customer-participation programs, we provide education on ecosystem conservation.

Cooperation with Academic Research

We have been conducting nesting surveys of loggerhead sea turtles since 1991. These are the only species of sea turtle that lays eggs on Honshu. At the request of Shizuoka Prefecture, we currently carry out nesting surveys in addition to conservation, protection, and monitoring activities at the nesting sites.

Water Resource Conservation

Promotion of Reduced Water Usage

We conduct surveys and management of water intake volumes, introduce water-saving equipment, and reduce water usage through reclaimed water systems.

Effective Utilization of Water Resources and Reduction of Environmental Impact

We promote no-cleaning and eco-cleaning options, improve the quality of business site wastewater through septic tanks, etc., and reduce the energy required for water resource procurement by utilizing well water.
