In the 1.5℃ scenario, companies will be required to take stricter measures to reduce GHG emissions, and cost increases are expected due to the introduction of carbon taxes and increased demand for renewable energy. If the government enforces stricter regulations, increases in capital expenditures will be inevitable. Furthermore, lagging initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions will directly result in the deterioration of corporate brand image.

On the other hand, due to increased public interest in climate change, the role of the media to communicate accurate information will become increasingly important. If a company is seen not to be playing an adequate role, the trust placed in the company by viewers and sponsors will inevitably be diminished. In addition, it is expected that there will be an increased demand in program production for content aimed at sustainability and realization of carbon neutrality. The Group, which has the Media Content Business as the core business, is aware that we have a great responsibility to not only promote reductions in the Group's CO2 emissions, but also to appeal to society to prevent more serious climate change from occurring.

Impacts of stricter regulations to reduce CO2 emissions and increased energy procurement costs are also anticipated as business risks for the Life and Health Related Business. We believe that measures to capture changes in lifestyles and increased health awareness are necessary, such as progress in DX and extended use of remote work, while constraining price pass-through due to increased operation costs.
