Notice of Information Disclosure based on the Recommendations of the Task Force

on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd. hereby announces that it has disclosed information based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD")*1 ..

The Japan Airport Terminal Group, as a purely private company engaged in construction, management and operation of highly public passenger terminals, has adopted a basic philosophy of "Harmony between the Business and the Society". To realize our long-term vision, "To Be a World-Best Airport - To be the world's most respected airport, pursuing the satisfaction of all stakeholders -," positioning response to climate change as one of the most important management issues, JAT group has expressed its support for the TCFD recommendations in September 2022.

Going forward, JAT group will promote information disclosure related to climate change and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through our business activities.

*1 TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures):

It was established in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), at the request of the G20. In order to reduce the risk of destabilization of financial markets, it has recommended that companies disclose information on the financial impact of risks and opportunities that climate change poses to their business activities, as well as specific responses and strategies.

Information Disclosure Based on TCFD Recommendations

  • The Japan Airport Terminal Group is a purely private enterprise engaged in construction, management and operation of airport passenger terminals, which are public infrastructure with enormous importance. We are fully aware of the social responsibility associated with this role and aim for management that benefits both public good and business success. To realize our long-term vision, "To Be a World Best Airport," positioning response to climate change as one of the most important management issues, the JAT Group has made various efforts to reduce its environmental impact.
  • In September 2022, JAT announced that it expressed its support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures ("TCFD recommendations"). In May 2023, we will disclose the information described below based on the TCFD recommendations.
  • Going forward, we will continue to be conscious of our business environment surrounding the Company and ensure deeper analysis of risks and opportunities, while implementing countermeasures and endeavoring to disclose related information.

Governance

  • Established in July 2022 for the purpose of strengthening JAT's sustainability promotion systems, the Sustainability Committee is chaired by the President and COO and comprised of all officers (including executive officers) of the Company. Its meetings are held at least twice a year. While the Committee is responsible for overseeing such activities as the development of sustainability-related policies and the management of progress, the Sustainability Management Office, a dedicated organization that reports directly to the President, is in charge of implementing concrete initiatives.
  • With the climate change-related initiatives having been positioned as an important management issue, the Sustainability Committee plays a central role in developing the implementation policy and managing progress. After being discussed by the Committee, these matters are reviewed by the Executive Committee based on the relationship and consistency with management strategies, and then reported to the Board of Directors for its resolution.

Strategies

  • (Assumptions for scenario analysis) In order to assess the impact of climate change on the Group's business, we conducted an analysis using the following two scenarios (the "1.5°C scenario" and the"4.0°C scenario"). In setting the scenarios, we referred to the scenarios published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)ng scenarios.

*3 In the analysis, we mainly used the SSP1-2.6 scenario. In addition to this, we partly referred to the SSP1-1.9 scenario as another scenario in which the temperature rise is limited to 1.5°C or less from the pre-industrial levels.

which we obtained through the analysis of the JAT Group's "Facilities Management" business and the "Merchandise Sales and Food and Beverage" business (a segment that combines the "Merchandise Sales" business and the "Food and Beverage" business).
