In addition, we will strive for co-prosperity with our stakeholders by implementing environmental management that balances environmental protection and generating business profits.
11th Three-Year Environmental Action Plan initiatives
In the 11th three-Year Environmental Action Plan starting in
fiscal 2019, we aim for environmentally friendly business
activities by advancing the integration between our business
activities and environmental action. We are linking our
countermeasures for global warming and our resource recycling
activities with our manufacturing enhancement work in an effort
to eliminate "unreasonableness, inconsistency and waste,"
thereby focusing on reducing energy use, changing raw
materials and reducing defective products as we work on
reducing our environmental impact such as greenhouse gases
and landfill waste. We will also progress with development and
expand sales that are friendly to the environment.
Although there was a delay during 2020, the second fiscal
year of the three-year plan, in reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, other efforts were mainly implemented on schedule
according to plan. During fiscal 2021, the final year of the plant,
we will continue to move forward with the 11th Three-Year
Environmental Action Plan in efforts to build an environmental
management framework that unifies our business activities with
environmental action.
