|
| |
|
| -
|
Fluorocarbon emissions have been decreased 34% compared to fiscal year 2001. Emission rate per handling amount was 0.6%, a decrease of 1.7% compared to fiscal year 2001.
|
| -
|
Energy saving activities such as the introduction of a cogeneration system have been promoted at plants in Japan. CO2 emissions per sales amount for entire group have decreased by 25% compared to fiscal year 2000.
|
|
| |
