Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions at Large GHG-Emitting Business Establishments

This Program has for its purposes to prevent global warming by reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases,

including carbon dioxide, stemming from business activities. Under the Program, business establishmentsproducing significantly large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions are required to submit Tokyo CO2 EmissionReduction Plan, and this plan is evaluated and announced.

Formulation of Reduction Measures andTargets

Evaluation and Announcement of Efforts

Reductions in GreenhouseGas Emissions

Basic Principles of the Program A mechanism that allows efforts by business

operators who are active in measures against

global warming to be socially appreciated

A mechanism that leads business operators'

efforts up to a much higher level through the

Tokyo Metropolitan Government's guidance,

advice, evaluation and announcement

Measures against global warming also help to alleviateurban warming the heat island phenomenon.

AAppppppllliiicccaaabbbllleee EEEmmmiiitttttteeerrrsssWhat Are Large Greenhouse Gas-EmittingBusiness Establishments?

Applicable emitters under the Program are those persons who install or manage business establishments thatfall under the following category in terms of energy consumption:

Business establishments whose consumption of fuel, heat and electricity totals:1,500 kl of crude oil equivalent or more per annum

* Heat and electricity must be supplied by outside sources only. Thermal or electric energy gained from the conversion of renewableenergy sources is excluded.

* Those business operators who have already submitted Tokyo CO2 Emission Reduction Plan voluntarily before the revision to therequirement are not needed to submit a plan even if the revised requirement imposes the obligation to submit a plan on them.

Exemplary Applicable Business Establishments Mining and manufacturing factories, incineration plants, district heating andcooling service providers, water and sewerage facilities, office buildings(including single and multiple tenant buildings), department stores, hotels,hospitals, schools, government buildings, computer centers (computer servicebuildings), halls and theaters, and other research facilities and laboratories.

* Public facilities held by the central and local governments are included.

* Electricity industry utilities' power generation facilities are not coveredby this Program but by the Tokyo Green Energy Program under theTokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance.

Business establishments that do not fall under thecategory of applicable business establishments arepermitted to submit Tokyo CO2 Emission ReductionPlan.

formulatedProposal for additional emission reduction measures, etc.

period

Field surveys

A proposal for new emission reduction measures, etc.

Setup of an Information Desk, etc.

Registration and referral of business operators taking measuresagainst global warming

Business operators who are active incarrying out global warming control

measures are highly rated.

Announcement of Plans and Others Enhancement of Measures to Deal with Tenants

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government evaluates plans inaccordance with the Evaluation Standards:

Evaluate plans in accordance with uniform standards on theformulation of targets and results of reductions

Evaluate plans, interim reports and final reports Award Official Commendations to business establishments for

outstanding achievements

Award a good rating for the formulation andimplementation of effective energy-saving equipmentmeasures

Award a good rating for the effects of energy-saving

equipment measures and reductions in total emissions

Make an overall evaluation with due consideration forvehicle exhaust fume reduction measures and otherextensive measures

Award a rating for all basic measures taken in thepast

Award as high a rating as measures taken during a

planned period for active measures taken over thepast three fiscal years

Announcement by business operators: Plans and progress reports Announcement by TMG:

Plans and others submitted by business operators

A list of activities and measures taken by a business operator

Ratings* This mechanism ensures that business operators who are actively

committed to global warming control are duly rated in society and in

the marketplace.

Business establishments' own measures or innovativemeasures

Measures designed to reduce emissions of greenhousegases excluding energy-related CO2

Reduction measures related to vehicles and others used in

business activities at business establishments

Measures, excluding the above measures and , to beimplemented within business establishments

Measures to be implemented outside business establishments

(whether in or outside Tokyo metropolitan area)

Introduction of fuel-efficient vehicles

Reductions in wastes, logistics measures, and retentionof the environmental value of electric energy, etc.

Small and medium-sized business establishments'

measures, planting and greening measures, etc.

To Get a Higher Rating Measures : Priority measures subject to TMG's evaluation

(Thesemattersareannounceduntil

thelastdayoftheplannedperiod) In the case of single and multiple tenant buildings:

Tenants who fall under either of the following categories arerequested to formulate tenants' global warming control measures

and attach a list of formulated measures to a plan to be submittedby a building owner:

One single tenant who is obliged to meet the appropriaterequirements; or

One single tenant who occupies a greater portion of the floorspace of the building

To Get a Higher Rating When a building owner and tenants work together to carry out difficult reduction measures, these measures will be treatedas measures designed to achieve targets that would give a higher rating.
