Kashiwabara Corporation's Commitment to Carbon Neutrality

Kashiwabara Corporation, a leading player in the construction industry, is taking significant steps towards carbon neutrality. Headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, the company has developed a unique solution that blends specially designed paints with innovative construction methods aimed at reducing carbon emissions significantly. Recently, they provided their solution to the JAL Group, specifically to JAL Engineering and JAL Air Tech, for the maintenance hangar at Haneda Airport.

Project Highlights

In this recent project, Kashiwabara Corporation was tasked with the renovation of the interior of the M1 hangar at Haneda Airport. The results were impressive. By switching from traditional painting methods to their advanced carbon reduction solution, the project was completed four days ahead of schedule and achieved a remarkable 33% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to previous practices. This initiative marks the beginning of a serious commitment to sustainability in the construction and maintenance sectors.

Unique Carbon Reduction Solutions

Kashiwabara's innovative approach integrates years of experience in large-scale renovations and infrastructure maintenance. With growing awareness around carbon neutrality, they have developed construction management methods that utilize proprietary paints. This new methodology not only reduces CO2 emissions by as much as 30% compared to traditional methods but also addresses the needs of businesses to understand their Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. To support their clients, Kashiwabara now offers reporting on GHG emissions for the projects they undertake.

Understanding Scope Emissions

To clarify, Scoped emissions refer to the classification of GHG emissions from the creation to disposal of products:

• - Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, like combustion or industrial processes.
• - Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, or heat.
• - Scope 3: Other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain.

Kashiwabara’s detailed reports will help their clients identify and manage these emissions comprehensively.

Future Endeavors and Commitment

The company is dedicated to the broader goals of achieving a carbon-neutral society. They have launched a dedicated section on their corporate website entitled “Carbon Neutral” to share their latest projects and progress. This page will also serve as a platform for recruiting individuals passionate about sustainability and carbon-neutral initiatives. Their commitment to transparency and collaboration signals an encouraging step towards inspiring others in the industry.
