Art Freak Co., Ltd. Acquires SBT-SME Certification — Accelerating Decarbonized Management Towards 2030

Art Freak Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takuya Komada), a company providing end-to-end planning, design, and construction for exhibitions, events, and commercial spaces (offices, showrooms, store interiors, pop-up stores), acquired the Science Based Targets (SBT) for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SBT-SME) certification from the SBTi in May 2026. The company is committed to active CO2 emission reduction to contribute to a decarbonized society.

SBT Targets Art Freak aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by fiscal 2030, using fiscal 2024 as the base year.

Background and Purpose of SBT Certification As climate change becomes a pressing global issue, the display and events industry faces strong scrutiny regarding its environmental responsibility. While events bring joy and inspiration to people, they also consume significant resources and generate large amounts of waste during setup and operation.

Under the sustainability philosophy "For a world where 'interesting' lasts forever," the company believes that the experiences it provides should not come at the expense of the future environment. Establishing a clear numerical target for greenhouse gas reduction is a concrete step toward a sustainable society.

Receiving international SBT certification is a major step toward creating environmentally conscious experience value. Moving forward, the company will strengthen emission reductions throughout its supply chain, aiming to contribute to a decarbonized society as a pioneer setting new standards in the industry.

Initiatives Following this certification, Art Freak will advance the following initiatives: 1. Improving Energy Efficiency: Installing energy-saving equipment and improving operations at company facilities. 2. Transitioning to Renewable Energy: Gradually switching power used at business sites to renewable sources. 3. Supply Chain Collaboration: Working with partners to explore emission reductions from raw material procurement to delivery.

Message from Representative Director Takuya Komada "I am very proud that our targets have been certified by the SBTi. This is merely a milestone; the essential role is implementation. We will embody 'sustainable management' that balances business growth with environmental protection through technological innovation and partnerships."
