Sakai Moving Service Co., Ltd. (Sakai City, Osaka; President: Tetsuyasu Tajima; hereinafter 'Sakai Moving Service') has partnered with paramita Inc. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Atsushi Hayashi, Tetsuya Osawa; hereinafter 'paramita') to launch 'Ethical Moving for Business,' a new service supporting corporate ESG and decarbonization management.
This service allows companies to offset CO2 emissions (Scope 3) generated by employee transfers and office relocations using carbon credits. Companies can easily and reliably contribute to forest conservation and regional problem-solving within their standard business workflows.
■ Background and Objective: Supporting Corporate 'Decarbonization Management' through Moving
Currently, many companies are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions not only within their own operations but across their entire supply chain (Scope 3) to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. However, emissions from logistics and travel, particularly 'employee transfers,' have been an area where measures have lagged despite high frequency.
Therefore, we have co-developed 'Ethical Moving for Business,' specializing in corporate contracts, based on the framework of 'Ethical Moving,' which was released for individuals in January 2025 and received significant response with over 40,000 applications in its first year.
■ Overview of 'Ethical Moving for Business'
This program allows corporate clients to make their moves effectively CO2-free by adding 1,100 yen (tax included) to the moving cost.
1. Offsetting Scope 3 Emissions
We offset an average of 0.056tCO2 per move using government-certified forest-derived 'J-Credits.' In addition to reducing the burden of Scope 3 accounting and offsetting, it can be used to strengthen employee engagement by instilling the company's environmental stance.
2. Contributing to Natural Capital across Japan
The carbon credits are sourced from regions where Sakai Moving Service has agreements, such as Owase City (Mie Prefecture) and Tatsugo Town (Kagoshima Prefecture), with plans to expand to forest conservation and ecosystem restoration projects nationwide. This supports biodiversity and regional revitalization simultaneously.
3. Issuance of Proof Data for ESG Reports
We provide an offset certificate (invalidation notice) as proof. This can be included in sustainability reports or integrated reports for external stakeholders.
■ Specific Use Cases
We support a wide range of scenarios, from daily personnel transfers to large-scale site reorganizations.
- Regular and ad-hoc employee transfers
- Moving in/out of company housing and new graduate relocations
- Domestic moves before/after overseas assignments
- Office relocations and site consolidations
Through this initiative, Sakai Moving Service and paramita aim to support corporate decarbonization while contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
