e-dash Co., Ltd. will calculate and visualize CO2 emissions for the 47th Setagaya Furusato Kumin Festival on June 6-7, 2026, at JRA Baji Koen and Keyaki Hiroba. In partnership with Setagaya City's Environmental Policy Department, the project collects and analyzes data from festival operations and visitor travel to promote sustainable event planning. Key features: 1. Combined Pre- and Post-Event Data: Pre-event data includes electricity, propane gas, and generators (Scope 1), food sales emissions (Scope 3), and newly purchased flyers or equipment (Scope 3). Post-event data covers facility electricity usage (Scope 2), waste volume (Scope 3), and visitor transportation (Scope 3). 2. Participant Action: Visitor transportation emissions are calculated using a smartphone-based travel survey during the event, encouraging community-wide eco-awareness. Founded in February 2022 with 3.06 billion yen in capital, e-dash is backed by Mitsui & Co. and Mizuho Innovation Frontier. Based on the findings, e-dash will propose emission reduction strategies for future events and expand its decarbonization expertise to other municipalities.
