Environment
As a member of a society that operates in a global environment, we believe that addressing climate change and other environmental issues is vital.
We recognize the need to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities and are proactively working to address environmental issues and collaborate with other companies that aim to realize a sustainable society.
We voluntarily adhere to the TCFD＊, which has established a framework for international disclosure of information on climate change. In addition to disclosure and monitoring based on climate change risk, we also support biodiversity conservation efforts and promote the conservation and rational use of the world’s limited water resources.

TCFD is the “Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures,” established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB).
Energy Management
Simplex Group has its offices in Mori Building office buildings that take proactive and cutting-edge approaches to environmental issues. Approximately 92% (by square footage) of the offices we occupy use 100% electricity derived from renewable energy sources. By proactively selecting sustainable business environments, we are engaging in responsible energy management.
For our internal systems, we actively use cloud servers, which are energy-efficient and help to reduce the burden on the global environment. Even in our client systems, we have developed support services for companies that choose to make use of the most advanced cloud computing. Since 2020, we have also participated in the “FISC＊1-compliant APN＊2 Consortium” by Amazon Web Services (AWS), a leading cloud server provider, with the aim of facilitating FISC compliance and promoting the use of AWS by financial institutions.
