Hiroaki Suzuki, AEON's Manager of Sustainability, described the retailer's public commitment to install natural refrigerants in November 2011. With around 598 stores in Japan, AEON has a sustainability principle based on four priorities, one of which is to contribute to a low carbon society. Since the company decided to reduce its CO₂ emissions by 1.84 million tons in 2008, it began to introduce natural refrigerants (CO₂) in all new stores, while converting an existing 3,500 stores to CO₂. A large-scale installation can be found at the AEON mall Makuhari Shintoshin, opened in December 2013.
