accelerating the group’s efforts toward sustainability.
The ABC Group was among the first to be involved in the solar power generation business(2013) and other measures toward becoming an environmentally friendly broadcasting
company. Having published the ABC Green Declaration, the group aims to contribute to thecreation of green societies by pursuing a variety of environmental measures to further cope withclimate change and other issues throughout the group.
As the first step toward these goals, the ABC Group will endeavor to use CO2-free electricity by
the year 2025, including shifting the group’s Osaka headquarters building to electricity from
100% renewable energy sources by 2022. Even after reaching this goal, the ABC Group willcontinue with environmentally friendly initiatives on a sustainable basis, aiming for carbon
neutrality.

(A) By 2022, the Osaka Headquarters Building will be powered by 100%
renewable energy.
The electricity used at the Osaka headquarters building will be effectively 100% CO2-free,derived from renewable energy every day in 2022. This shift will take advantage of the Kansai
Electric Power Co., Inc. CO₂-free electricity rate menu, Renewable Energy ECO Plan. In 2023,
the group will convert the Annex Building (Fukushima-ku, Osaka, occupied by seven Group
companies), ABC TV Ikoma Transmission Station, and ABC Radio Takaishi Transmission
Station to CO2-free electricity, and by 2025, the ABC Group aims to achieve CO2-freeelectricity across the entire group, including the Tokyo office.
The group uses energy for other than electrical purposes, including emergency generators, relay
trucks and other business-use vehicles, employee cafeterias, etc. However, the group is working
to address these non-electricity areas.

The ABC Group intends to complete the current conversion to LED lighting on the office floorsof the Osaka headquarters building by the end of fiscal 2022*. The shift to LED lighting isoccurring in stages by floor, office, etc., with the goal of completing the switch to LED lighting
throughout the entire group, including radio and TV broadcast studio lighting, by the end offiscal 2025. In this way, the ABC Group intends to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions
via reduced electricity usage.
*Excluding certain facilities in consideration of electricity consumption.

the end of fiscal 2022.
The Tokyo office has already been converted to LED lighting.

(C) Now and Forever! The ABC Group will continue to contribute to decarbonizedsocieties through solar power and other green power.
【Solar Power Generation Business】**
Launched in November 2013, the Takaishi Radio Transmission Station
project in Takaishi City, Osaka, entered its ninth year in fiscal 2021.
Approximately 10,000 solar panels have been installed (1,990kW
generation capacity) on an approximately 29,000m2 site. The electricity
generated by the project is provided to the market through Kansai
Electric Power. For example, in fiscal 2020, the project provided theequivalent of approximately 27.3% of the electricity used in the Asahi
Broadcasting Group Holdings headquarters building. Through thecreation of green power in this way, the group aims to become anenvironmentally considerate and Earth-friendly broadcasting company.

Solar panels at Takaishi Radio Transmission Station(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 lifestylebusinesses, 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 theuse of energy from natural sources.
