Chicago, IL, March 4, 2020: Net Zero Analysis & Design Corp. is pleased to announce that Fujikagu Industries Co. Ltd. of Miyoshi, Japan, owner of three Ashley Furniture Home stores, has become a member of the Entrex Carbon Market and has begun their journey toward carbon neutrality and net zero emissions. The carbon footprint for the first retail store has been offset, bringing that location to carbon neutral and the company plans to deploy the same auditing and offsetting process for each of its locations.
“Joining the Entrex Carbon Market and offsetting 100% of our carbon footprint is currently the most economical, efficient and time-saving way to deal with our carbon emissions. We are pleased that this allows us to make more investment in renewable energy and forestation,” said Masayoshi Shibayama, President of Fujikagu Industries. “By achieving carbon neutrality we hope to exhibit our commitment to corporate social responsibility and gain customer trust. The major objective of climate change action should be to implement the most effective preventive methods against natural disasters such as flooding by mitigating global warming as much as possible.”
“Leveraging our qualifications as ISO14000 and 14001 – 2015 International Auditors and our expertise in carbon footprint calculation, we are working with the Ashley Furniture Home stores to guide them through gathering relevant data concerning their operations, and to determine both their immediate and future carbon-reduction goals,” explained Masato Yamazaki, Managing Director of Net Zero Analysis Japan. “We have applied our web-based Carbon Footprint Calculator to the store’s energy-use data and are developing a Carbon Replacement and Energy Efficiency Plan to tackle Fujikagu Industries’ concerns with future carbon mitigation.“
Stephen Watkins, CEO of the Entrex Carbon Market added, “The combination of Net Zero’s international carbon footprint calculator, and the Entrex platform gives climate-concerned companies a user-friendly way to navigate a rigorous carbon-neutrality verification process and to receive assigned and retired regulatory compliant carbon offset securities. Carbon offsetting is an important prong in an organization’s climate action goals. It’s great to have Fujikagu Industries on board as one of the Entrex Carbon Market Members.”
