We announced the ABC Green Declaration, accelerating the group’s efforts toward sustainability.
The ABC Group was among the first to be involved in the solar power generation business in 2013 and other measures toward becoming an environmentally friendly broadcasting company. Having published the ABC Green Declaration, the group aims to contribute to the creation of green societies by pursuing a variety of environmental measures to further cope with climate change and other issues throughout the group.
(A) By 2022, the Osaka Headquarters Building will be powered by 100% renewable energy.
(B) The ABC Group aims to install LED lighting in all broadcast studios and other group facilities by 2025.
(C) Now and Forever! The ABC Group will continue to contribute to decarbonized societies through solar power and other green power.
<Aim for carbon neutrality -Solar Power Generation, renewable energy, conversion to LED lighting>
Solar Power Generation Business was launched in November 2013 at the Takaishi Radio Transmission Station in Osaka. Through the creation of green power in this way, the group aims to become an environmentally considerate and Earth-friendly broadcasting company.
Furthermore, we will use renewable energy and switch to LED lighting to reduce electricity usage and CO₂ emissions.
We will continue with environmentally friendly initiatives on a sustainable basis, aiming for carbon neutrality.
■Initiatives for Solar Power Generation Business
In the Takaishi Radio Transmission Station project in Takaishi City, Osaka, approximately 10,000 solar panels have been installed (1,990kW generation capacity) on an approximately 29,000㎡ site. The electricity generated by the project is provided to the market through Kansai Electric Power. For example, in fiscal 2020, the project provided the equivalent of approximately 27.3% of the electricity used in the Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings headquarters building.
(Reference) Fiscal 2020 (April 2020 - March 2021) results: Electricity generated and CO₂ reductions
CO₂ reduction due to annual power generation of 3,273,416 kWh at the Takaishi Solar Power Plant
=3,273,416 kWh x 0.318 kg - CO₂/kWh ≒ 1,041 t - CO₂ (reduction)
(Emission factor used for CO₂ calculation is the adjusted CO₂ emission factor of Kansai Electric Power in fiscal 2019)

■ABC Housing Solar Power Generation
ABC Group company ABC Development Corporation (Fukushima-ku, Osaka), which is engaged in lifestyle businesses, operates its own solar power generation system. ABC Housing, which is engaged in the housing business, has installed solar panels on the roofs of general reception buildings at 10 general housing exhibitions to highlight the use of energy from natural sources. The electricity generated is used at each general reception building and facilities, producing a total 58,732kWh of electricity in fiscal 2020 for the 10 housing exhibitions combined.
