On August 29th, we opened a new eco-friendly 7-Eleven store in Fukuoka, Japan!
This outstanding wooden building was constructed using mostly locally sourced timber, which helps to regenerate forests and increases carbon absorption.
Compared to conventional standard construction methods and materials, the store is expected to reduce carbon emissions by about 15% during both construction and its eventual demolition.
We also designed it with new features to generate, store and conserve energy. The store utilizes solar panels, energy-efficient equipment, and a new storage battery system.
Combined, this will reduce external power purchases and carbon emissions by approximately 50%.
As this store demonstrates, Seven-Eleven Japan is committed to taking on the challenge of creating next-generation stores that are friendly to the environment while supporting the local community.
