-- Weathernews Inc. has been named to the A List, the highest rating possible in the climate change category by the CDP, an international environmental disclosure nonprofit. The company's efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change as well as its replete data disclosure, partnerships with policy institutions, and contribution to society through its weather and climate services were assessed comprehensively, leading to its first ever A List ranking.
Weathernews aims to help build a sustainable world where humanity, corporations, and Earth can coexist based on its dream of "saving the lives of sailors and the future of Earth." Initiatives to address the risks and opportunities wrought by climate change are underway across business operations. Specifically, these include the development of a Transition Plan that identifies targets and actions for transitioning to a decarbonized society, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as an Adaptation Plan to address weather disasters and other impacts from climate change and create opportunities, both of which are being implemented.
Under the Transition Plan, Weathernews has ramped up its decarbonization efforts, such as reducing in-house greenhouse gas emissions and using renewable energy. Under the Adaptation Plan, the company analyzes disaster risks from climate change and implements measures to enhance business continuity while developing more sophisticated services for visualizing corporate climate risks and providing support for adaptation strategies.
In the field of policy, Weathernews is working to increase awareness of adaptation measures through weather services based on a partnership agreement with the Ministry of the Environment of Japan while promoting the establishment and provision of climate risk information based on partnership agreements with foreign governments as well. Through these efforts, Weathernews participates in discussions aimed at improving climate resilience at COP (United Nations Climate Change Conference) and other international venues.
Weathernews will continue to place high importance on addressing climate change and work with stakeholders to reduce climate change risks and environmental impacts to help build a sustainable world.
