Our parking service is a "place" sharing service, and our mobility service is a "car" sharing service. The sharing service is a business model that maximizes added value by increasing the operation of each service, so the service model itself is a circular economy business model.
Circular economy business is required for a sustainable environment and society in the future, and the expansion of each service network contributes to the reduction of environmental impact.

PARK24 GROUP and Sustainability

Transportation IC Park & Ride is a transport system established in collaboration with parking facilities and railway operators, under which users park their cars at Times Parking facilities near railway stations before taking public transport such as a train or shinkansen bullet train to their destinations. Through this service, users can pay preferential parking fees. As this service reduces travel time through easing of traffic congestion and suppresses air pollution from idling, it is being promoted as a transport service with a lower environmental impact.

Transportation IC Rail & Car Share is a transport system established in combination with car sharing operators and railway operators, under which users take the train to reach the station that is the nearest to their destination and use car sharing services to travel from the station to their destination. Through this service, users can pay preferential Times CAR usage fees. We are expanding the number of car sharing stations near railway stations to promote improved convenience and optimization of transportation options for residents living along railway lines.

We use water-soluble paint in our nine repair factories across Japan, and do not use organic solvents that include many environmentally-harmful volatile organic compounds. We are also ensuring the health of our employees through the use of water-soluble paint.

The washing of mobility vehicles is conducted efficiently and in less time in accordance with our own car washing manual. It is also environmentally friendly, given a reduction in water consumption.

The installation of eco-friendly LED lighting has been standardized at Times Parking facilities and Times Car outlets.

We have introduced the Warm Biz and Cool Biz initiatives to limit the excessive use of air conditioning. We switch off computers when leaving our desks for a long period and take other actions to reduce wasteful power consumption.
