Sustainability Efforts
in HIBIYA Magic Time Illumination 2023
Ⅰ.Green Energy
The illuminations make use of green energy. An environmentally friendly energy source, green energy uses renewable energy by employing the environmental value of residential solar panels for energy generation.
Ⅱ.Solar Power
From 2024 onward, we intend to power the illuminations with energy generated from solar panel farms owned by our company. By developing and operating our own solar panel energy generation facilities, we can provide reliable renewable energy and further strengthen our efforts to tackle CO2 reduction.
Ⅲ.LED lights
All the lights used in the illumination decorations are LED bulbs. Compared with incandescent bulbs, they use around 40% less electricity.
