Overview of Fiscal 2006-2010
Major Reduction of Greenhouse Gases during Production
During the five years starting in fiscal 2006, we built a global management system that includes ISO 14001 certification of major production sites.
To reduce the environmental impact of products, we achieved expanded sales of products with lower impact, such as energy-efficient air conditioners and heat-pump type space heaters, in more countries, and we continued to improve green procurement at overseas production bases.
To reduce environmental impact during production, we strove to reduce fluorocarbon emissions in production processes and cut energy-induced CO2 emissions through improved production efficiency. As a result, we reduced CO2 emissions by 73% over fiscal 2005.
In addition, we carried out environmental protection activities geared to the needs of each worldwide region and we were able to raise the environmental awareness of our employees.
