We have formulated this policy and are implementing various initiatives. At our factories, we are promoting the use of renewable energy, including the use of hydroelectric power and the purchase of Green Power Certificates, a system that certifies electricity generated from natural energy by a third-party certification body. * Initiatives for water security Based on the "Global Framework for Responsible Water Use and Conservation of Water Resources" formulated by The Coca-Cola Company in 2021, we will implement measures to conserve water resources in the water source areas of each factory. In addition, we are working to improve the health of the watershed surrounding our factories and preserve biodiversity. Additionally, our CSV Goals are to achieve a 30% reduction in water usage by 2030 (compared to 2015) and maintain a 200% water recharge rate by 2025. We have concluded agreements regarding water resource conservation in the water source areas of all 17 of our factories, and the water source recharge rate in fiscal 2022 was 420%.
