e-dash Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Touma Yamazaki; hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce that, following last fiscal year, it has been awarded the "Mahoroba Zero Carbon Challenge ~CO2 Visualization~ (Support Services for Visualization of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Prefectural Businesses)" by Nara Prefecture (Governor: Shin Yamashita). The company will hold decarbonization management seminars for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nara Prefecture and begin supporting the visualization and reduction of CO2 emissions using "e-dash" for 30 SMEs in the prefecture. Background of the Initiative Nara Prefecture aims to build a sustainable decarbonized society by effectively and efficiently promoting initiatives to "create," "store," and "wisely use" energy, while maximizing the use of "natural energy" and "forest resources," towards the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. However, many SMEs, despite their intention to "engage in decarbonization management," face unique challenges such as "uncertainty about the effects," "lack of knowledge on how to proceed, leading to a trial-and-error approach," and "high costs." Consequently, only a few companies have actually started concrete initiatives. In response to this situation, Nara Prefecture has decided to continue implementing the "Mahoroba Zero Carbon Challenge ~CO2 Visualization~ (Support Services for Visualization of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Prefectural Businesses)" program, which supports the "visualization" of greenhouse gas emissions for companies and organizations within the prefecture, for the second consecutive year. The Company will provide comprehensive support for the transition to decarbonization management from a practical standpoint by assisting in the visualization of CO2 emissions and the formulation of reduction plans using "e-dash," as well as by regularly holding seminars and study sessions on decarbonization management.
