Project for Promoting Shift to Renewable Energy to Preserve the Global Environment for Future Generations

In September 2020, MARUI GROUP launched a project for promoting the shift to renewable energy with Minna-denryoku, Inc., as an initiative for cutting CO2 emissions together with customers. Through this project, we look to use renewable energy as a tool for addressing environmental issues with our customers.

Launch of Minna-denryoku EPOS Card

In October 2020, MARUI GROUP launched the Minna-denryoku EPOS Card. Application fees for this card are donated to support the maintenance and development of renewable energy generation facilities. Furthermore, these cards have been made from eco-friendly materials, such as waste plastic, since April 2021, a first for Japanese credit cards.

Easy Application for Household Renewable Energy Services from Minna-denryoku

Customers have expressed that changing to renewable energy is difficult and a bit of a hassle. To address this issue, MARUI GROUP has made it possible to apply for renewable energy services with ease from a special page on its EPOS Net portal for EPOS cardholders. This service was launched based on a suggestion from Minister of the Environment Shinjiro Koizumi, and discussions were held with the Minister during the course of advancing the project.
