11th Three-Year Environmental Action Plan initia tives
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 reducing environmental burdens such as
greenhouse gases and landfill waste. We will also move to increase products that
are friendly to the environment.
Although there was a delay during 2019, the first fiscal year of the plan, in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing environmentally friendly
products, other efforts were accomplished according to plan.
During fiscal 2020, 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.
