Group Environment Policy
We sincerely appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our customers, business partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders with the intent and content of this policy so that the DeNA Group can promote our initiatives to address climate change and conserve the global environment through our business activities.
Information Disclosure Based on TCFD Recommendations
DeNA’s mission is “We delight people beyond their wildest dreams.” DeNA collaborates with various stakeholders as appropriate with the aim to deliver Delight to a variety of areas and contribute to creating a world where all people can shine.
The DeNA Promise (Our Social Promise), part of the value, includes “Acting Sustainably.” As a global citizen, DeNA will contribute to a sustainable future by promoting corporate activities that emphasize harmony among the economy, society, and the environment.
Among social issues, DeNA believes that climate change has a particularly large impact on society, and as a corporate group that upholds the above mission, vision, and value, DeNA recognizes the importance of addressing climate change. With this in mind, DeNA announced our support of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) in June 2022 and provides information disclosure based on TCFD recommendations.
The DeNA Board of Directors oversees DeNA’s climate change response policies and measures, etc., based on DeNA’s basic policy on efforts surrounding sustainability and recognition of the risks and opportunities of climate change.
The DeNA management meeting deliberates and decides on policies and measures to address climate change, and reports regularly to the Board of Directors on the progress of these measures and other matters.
The department responsible for sustainability, centered on the CEO, who is the director responsible for sustainability, coordinates the response policies and measures, etc. decided at the management meeting and each internal department takes the initiative in promoting said response policies and measures, etc.
The DeNA Group currently recognizes the following risks, measures, and opportunities posed by climate change, taking into account the characteristics of the Group's business.
In considering risks, measures, and opportunities, we have divided them into two scenarios: the below 2°C scenario in which the transition to a decarbonized society is promoted and the average temperature increase is limited to less than 2°C (assume mainly transition risks* will materialize), and the 4°C scenario in which the transition to a decarbonized society is not promoted and the average temperature increases 4°C (assume physical risks will materialize).
*Transition risks: Risks associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy (policy and law (e.g., tightened regulation), technology (e.g., costs of introducing new technology), markets (e.g., consumer preferences), reputation)

For risks related to climate change, the department responsible for sustainability coordinates with the Compliance & Risk Management Office, which oversees the company-wide risk management process, to promote recognition of individual risks and formulate response policies by each internal department.
Such risks are reported to the Board of Directors and the management meeting on a regular basis in accordance with the company-wide risk management process.
To contribute to greenhouse gas reduction, the DeNA Group has set reduction targets for FY2033. These targets have been certified as aligned with the 1.5°C target by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)*1.
| *2 | Target | Base Year |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 & 2 | 58.8% reduction by the end of FY2033 | FY2023 |
| Scope 3 | 35.0% reduction by the end of FY2033 | FY2023 |

In the future, we will promote initiatives towards achieving these targets.
- The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a collaborative effort led by four international organizations: WWF, CDP, World Resources Institute (WRI), and the UN Global Compact (UNGC). It encourages companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets based on scientific evidence. It assesses and certifies whether these targets align with the decarbonized society envisioned by the Paris Agreement.
- Scope 1: All direct greenhouse gas emissions
- Scope 2: Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or steam consumption
- Scope 3: All other indirect emissions in the value chain not covered by Scope 2
- The scope of the Group’s aggregation includes consolidated subsidiaries and some estimated subsidiaries.
- The FY2023 aggregation data has been revised due to the addition of Scope 3 Category 15 calculations (July 2025).
Environmental Initiatives
Service Operation Initiatives
DeNA operates a variety of web services, ranging from entertainment to healthcare. The servers supporting these services handle over 15 billion requests per day.
We completed the migration to a cloud environment in 2021, which has lower greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller environmental footprint compared to the on-premise environment where physical equipment is managed and operated.
Office Initiatives
Introduction of LED Lighting
We use LED lighting in our offices in Shibuya, Yokohama and Niigata. Since they are brighter than fluorescent lights, the number of lights installed can be reduced, leading to a reduction in power consumption during use.
Time-Controlled Operation of Air Conditioning
The air conditioning in each area of the office is time-controlled so that the air conditioning is turned off after a certain period of time after the end of business hours. In addition, at the Shibuya office, we require an application for after-hours operation to reduce power consumption in non-operating areas.
Niigata Office Relocation
The Niigata Office was relocated in December 2024. The INPEX Niigata Building, where the new office is located, achieved the highest rating of ★★★★★ (five stars) under the ZEB Ready certification of BELS (Building-Housing Energy-efficiency Labeling System), which certifies buildings achieving energy consumption reduction of 50% or more from the standard primary energy consumption. It also acquired the highest rank, S Rank, in CASBEE (Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency). Furthermore, this building incorporates external insulation construction + double skin, a glass-integrated power generation system, and hybrid individual air conditioning. Through the effects of these features, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and a lower environmental impact due to improved energy use efficiency are expected.
Reduction of Business PC Waste
For computers used for business, whether purchased or leased, we prioritize internal reuse. PCs that become unnecessary due to departmental transfers or other reasons are utilized by other departments that require them, maximizing the effective use of IT assets. Once PCs have completed their service life, leased units are returned to the leasing company, and purchased units are sold externally, contributing to the reduction of waste.
Recycling and Reuse Activities
Stationery, umbrellas, and other items no longer needed in the office are collected on a regular basis, and those that are still usable are reused within the company to reduce waste. Paper materials are collected in dedicated recycling bins.
Paperless Initiatives
An electronic approval system and authentication-type printers have been installed to significantly reduce the use of paper documents. Monitors have also been installed in conference rooms to encourage paperless meetings.
Promotion of Green Purchasing
We promote green purchasing of stationery supplies (paper and writing implements) and IT supplies such as PCs and monitors.
Conclusion of Agreement on Decarbonization and Achieving the SDGs with the City of Yokohama
In April 2022, DeNA signed a collaboration agreement with the City of Yokohama on sustainable machizukuri to realize the SDGs Future City Yokohama. The agreement calls for collaboration between DeNA, with its entertainment, digital technology, and bustling facilities, and the Yokohama SDGs Design Center, with its expertise in SDGs initiatives and extensive network of businesses in the city. The two parties will work together to promote sustainable machizukuri toward the realization of Yokohama as an SDGs future city through the involvement of businesses and organizations and the creation of a system that enables citizens and visitors to engage in decarbonization and SDG initiatives in a fun way.
First, we will focus on strengthening partnerships with companies and organizations that sympathize with and support this agreement.
Initiatives at Yokohama Stadium
Yokohama Stadium Co., Ltd. is achieving energy conservation by implementing LED lighting. In 2024, the company introduced solar power generation equipment for the first time, utilizing the generated electricity for stadium operations.
The company has also endorsed the Yokohama City Decarbonization Initiative Declaration and is actively promoting efforts toward realizing a decarbonized society.
The company is also working to reduce waste. Recognizing that the volume of waste has been increasing year by year with the growing number of spectators at the stadium, we are promoting resource recycling wherever possible. This includes trialing audience-participatory sorting methods starting in 2024. Specifically, plastic cups are recycled after shredding, and food waste (food residues) is collected and effectively utilized as a resource for biomass power generation.
