NAGO Sustainability Actions

Zero emissions at Nago Brewery

Orion Breweries’ Nago Brewery has achieved zero emissions (100% recycling of waste) every year since 2006.

Circular barley cultivation

We are also engaged in circular cultivation of barley, using malt lees produced in the brewing process as compost.

Water resource conservation

The Orion Group accords great importance to conservation of water resources and is promoting initiatives to reduce the amount of water used, facilitate reuse, and minimize the environmental impact of wastewater.

Environmental performance monitoring

JHR and JHRA work on monitoring environmental performance, such as energy consumption, CO2 emissions, water consumption and amount of waste generated, etc. and strive to improve them continuously.

LED lighting and water saving

We are striving to reduce electricity consumption by switching from conventional lighting to LED lighting at some of the hotels in our portfolio. We strive to reduce water consumption through installing water-saving devices for a restroom, a tap in the kitchen, etc. to adjust water use amount properly.

Reuse of water

Several of our hotels reduce clean water consumption by using well water instead. Some of our hotels in Okinawa are working on to reduce clean water consumption by reusing gray water as recycled water. At Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay and Hilton Tokyo Odaiba, wastewater generated from the hotels (approximately 80 tons per day) is purified and reused for toilet flushing and watering flower beds.

Green leases and certifications

We have signed green lease clauses with the lessees, including HMJ Group hotels, one of our major hotel groups. Under the clauses, JHR analyzes energy data, among other things, considering renovations to improve environmental performance and working to optimize the operation of facility management. We have obtained Green Building Certifications from third-party institutions.
