Resource Circulation and Biodiversity Conservation

Initiatives for resource circulation

We maintain props and set pieces used in past TV programs and continue to reuse them across various productions over the medium to long term. We also modularize set pieces that appear frequently in dramas, such as operating rooms and courthouses, so that they can be reused repeatedly by chang- ing floor materials or wall coverings to create different looks. Furthermore, in FY2025, we engaged in new forms of resource circulation. We reused sets created for the dramas “Mikami Sensei” and “The 19th Chart” at the event “Plaza that Makes the Earth Smile,” not limiting the reuse to TV programs. Art sets that inevitably must be discarded are almost entirely recycled into wood chips and other raw materials, maintaining the high recycling rate at Midoriyama Studio exceeding 95%. We calculated the total amount of waste for the entire Group for the first time last year, which we conducted again this year (please refer to the “Non-financial Data” page for details). While the total volume is expected to fluctuate depending on business activity levels, the Group will continue calculating waste volume to assess the effectiveness of resource circulation measures and work toward waste reduction.

Activities for biodiversity conservation

We are working on biodiversity conservation with diverse approaches. 1 2 3 Delivery Empathy Practice We expand social cognition through content delivery We foster empathy through events and exhibitions We practice biodiversity conservation in the Akasaka area 1. Delivery: We expand social cognition through content delivery The TBS Group continues to create and deliver content that makes viewers think about the impact of losing nature or culture, not just showing their beauty, through animal content such as “Dobutsu Kisotengai/ Waku Waku” and documentary programs like “World Heritage.” Our archived footage of past programs and interviews is a valuable intellectual property for society. It is utilized in various academic research, events, and exhibitions. 30th anniversary of broadcasting in April 2026. There are 1,248 World Heritage Sites, and the program has filmed about 700 of them. (As of June 4, 2026) TV broadcasting from October 1993 to March 2009 582 episodes over approximately 16 years 2. Empathy: We foster empathy through events and exhibitions We host events and exhibitions on biology and history in collaboration with museums and art museums to elevate the interest sparked by the “delivery” of content to deeper knowl- edge and empathy. Through experiences engaging the five senses, visitors will become “stakeholders” with deep interest and empathy. We hope these events will lay the groundwork for behavioral change. July 12, 2025–October 13, 2025 [88 days] National Museum of March 14, 2026–June 14, 2026 [82 days] Nature and Science, National Museum of Nature and Science, approx. 310,000 visitors approx. 410,000 visitors 3. Practice: We practice biodiversity conservation in the Akasaka area At the TBS Broadcast Center, we keep approximately 200,000 bees. Bees aid pollination and play an important role in pro- moting greening and restoring biodiversity in surrounding urban areas. We also host beekeeping and honey harvesting workshops for local residents and children. They serve as a starting point for biodiversity conservation in the local commu- nity, creating opportunities to think about how to coexist with nature in urban areas.
