In Mar 2023, Harima announced the start of its first floating solar-power generation business on a reservoir located in the vicinity of the Kakogawa Plant, our main production site in Japan. This initiative is part of Harima's GHG Emission Reduction Policy announced in 2021, which stipulates curbing greenhouse gas emissions by 46%, relative to FY2013 levels, by 2027, 3 years ahead of Japan's national target, and further aiming for carbon-neutral operations by 2050.

This project is partially funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) through an emission mitigation grant program, and in Apr 2023, was acclaimed as a model case for solar power facilities implemented in innovative locations such as farmland, reservoirs and waste treatment plants. It is featured on the MOEJ website, recognized for its significant contributions to the environment and the community, as well as disaster resilience through the distribution of electricity for everyday and emergency use.
