Basic philosophy of the Kawasaki Plan for
Promotion of Measures against Global Warming
Basicphilosophy

To build a sustainable low-carbon society on the basis of harmony and a goodcycle between environment and economy and to hand down a healthy
environment to future generations
Reduction
targetKawasaki City aims to reduce its GHG emissions by over 25% by 2020 comparedto the 1990 level. It will reduce GHG emitted from the City and at the same time
contribute to the global reduction of GHG emissions by utilizing advanced
environmental technologies characterizing Kawasaki City.
It will achieve this reduction target through collaborative approaches as well as
individual efforts made by each entity to cut its own emissions
It will consider revising the target if necessary in light of the progress toward thenational mid-term target

Promotion of GHG emission reduction throughbusiness activities
Planning/reporting of anti-warming measures in business activities
Business operators emitting a considerably high total of GHG are mandated by City ordinance tosubmit a plan and a report on anti-warming measures implemented in business activities.
Excerpt from Kawasaki City Ordinance on Promotion of Measures against Global Warming (hereinafter “Ordinance”)(Plan on implementation of anti-warming measures in business activities)
Article 9: Business operators specified as emitting a considerably high total of GHG as prescribed byrules (hereinafter “specified operators”) must, under the Policy for Measures against Global Warmingin Business Activities and in accordance with rules, prepare and submit to the City Mayor a plan
describing the following items (hereinafter “Plan on Anti-warming Measures in Business Activities”).

Business operators* with an energy(electricity, gas, etc.) use of 1,500 kl
crude oil equivalent or more per year.
* With regard to franchise
operators, business activities
at sites operated byfranchise members meetingcertain conditions areincluded.

Business operators

Business operators emittingfrom within Kawasaki City a
GHG of 3,000t CO2
equivalent or more per year.
(As for CO2, emissions
associated with energy
consumption are excluded.)5

To promote the reduction of GHG emission by SME operators, Kawasaki City
provides information, advice, and other necessary support based on ordinances.
【Menu of environment-related support offered by Kawasaki City to SME operators(Programs for FY 2013)】

Energy conservation
diagnosis

The city provides diagnosis free of charge basedon application from operators

Financing of environmentrelated expenditures

Funding necessary for the introduction of energy-saving
equipment or for the development of environmentally friendly
products/technologies will be jointly financed by the City,Credit Guarantee Corporation, and financial institutions.

Support program forenvironmental projects

The City offers subsidy to cover part of the funding
necessary for introducing renewable energy
equipment or replacing to energy-saving equipment

Voluntary submissionof Plan

Based on ordinances, SME operators may also
voluntarily submit a Plan on Anti-warming Measures7

2. To build a mechanism for evaluating the contractor’s approaches to environmental
management
3. To clarify requirements on environmental performance/standards【Focus areas】
1. Electricity purchase contract
Actively conduct power supply
bidding in recognition of environmental
efforts made by power companies

3. Energy saving renovation works byenergy service companies (ESCO)
Reduce environmental
burden through renovationof public buildings

2.Vehicle purchase/lease contract

4.Building contracts
