###### Information Disclosure Based on TCFD Opinions
The Toho Gas Group regards climate change as a critical management issue, and has made proactive efforts to reduce environmental impact through expanding the popularization of natural
gas, which is the fossil fuel with the least environmental load, and as well as developing high-efficiency gas equipment and encouraging its adoption. Having endorsed the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in April 2020, the Group has been promoting efforts addressing climate change in line with the recommendations of the TCFD and, in July 2021,
it enacted and published The Toho Gas Group 2050 Carbon Neutrality Initiative. In addition to promoting low-carbon and decarbonization efforts for our customers' premises, we will work
to develop technologies with an eye on future decarbonization of gas itself. We will also work to expand the use of hydrogen, reduce or eliminate carbon in electricity, and promote the
transition to carbon neutrality.
