The OLC Group undertakes environmental activities in line with the OLC Group Environmental Policy.
Recognizing environmental issues as an important managerial challenge to be addressed, our Board of Directors resolved to set “Measures to address climate change and natural disasters” and “Recycling-oriented society” as areas of our ESG Materiality, and monitor the progress made in our related plans. The OLC Group has established an Environment Committee chaired by the Director of the Corporate Strategy Planning Division (Executive Director and Executive Officer). The committee is responsible for planning and setting targets for the Company’s environmental activities including climate change. Established under the Environment Committee, the Subcommittee on Resource Recycling shares our waste management policy across the OLC Group and strengthens collaboration. We strive to implement initiatives to reduce environmental impact by conducting fact-finding surveys, and devise strategies for reducing waste generated by The OLC Group including single-use plastics. Through the Environment Committee, targets and plans regarding environment actions are reported to the Board of Directors annually.
With many guests visiting our Theme Parks every day, Tokyo Disney Resort is much like a big city.
The OLC Group promotes waste reduction and recycling programs and is making aggressive efforts to reduce our impact on the environment.

Tokyo Disney Resort
In FY2002, when Tokyo DisneySea was first open for the entire year, the recycling rate fell short of 50%; by contrast, the rate across the entire Tokyo Disney Resort has reached the 70% level in these past several years as a result of the initiatives above.

Tokyo Disney Resort
The waste generated at the Tokyo Disney Resort is carefully sorted by cast members in accordance with detailed sorting criteria to recycle as much of our waste as possible.
We recycle a wide range of resources including cardboard boxes, kitchen waste, plants, edible oils, plastic bottles, plastic wrapping materials, other plastic waste, copy paper, newspapers and magazines, paper cups, paper packages, empty cans, empty bottles, metal, and wooden chips. These are sent to specialized facilities for recycling.
Also, all of the cardboard used for delivering the products and plastic bottles is recycled.

Stopped providing paper bags as a standard amenity in hotel rooms on February 28, 2023 |

Adoption of food waste disposal machines
Tokyo Disney Resort |
Adopted machines that use microorganisms to decompose and micronize food waste and emit residues as water |
|
Use of recyclable plates

Adopted recyclable film-coated plates. The film can be peeled off and discarded after use. By collecting and recycling the plates, waste was reduced by five tons in approximately six months compared to the amount produced when paper plates were used during the 2023 testing period |
