Items Indicators Targets for fiscal 2009 Results in fiscal 2009 Self-assessment and summary Targets for fiscal 2010 Targets for fiscal 2011
Prevention of global warming Production Reduction of CO2 emissions
(compared to fiscal 2007)
110,000tons 510,000tons Achieved 300,000 tons reduction target one year ahead of the plan due to thorough reduction initiatives and a decrease in production 480,000tons Fiscal year 2001 level
Logistics CO2 emissions per basic unit*2 1% reduction compared to a previous year 9.6% reduction Achieved the target by promoting modal shift to ships and railroads 1% reduction compared to a previous year
Reduction in chemical substance use Release and transfer of the Key Reduction-target substances
(compared to fiscal 2006)
6% reduction 27.8% reduction Achieved the target by far due to reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC) use and a decrease in production 8% reduction 10% reduction
Resource circulation Wastes(including revenue-generating wastes) Wastes per basic unit
(compared to fiscal 2001)
16% reduction*3 43% reduction*3
  • Achieved the fiscal 2011 target by far
  • Set new per-basic-unit targets without using corporate goods price indexes for fiscal 2010 and 2011
14 % reduction*4 16 % reduction*4
Recycling rate*5 Japan 99.0% at each site One site failed to achieve 134 out of 135 manufacturing sites achieved the target 99.5%
Outside Japan 90% as an average 92% Achieved the target 92.5% 95%
Water circulation Water consumption per basic unit
(compared to fiscal 2001)
8% reduction*6 48% reduction*6
  • Achieved the target by accelerating measures in China
  • Set new per-basic-unit targets without using corporate goods price indexes for fiscal 2010 and 2011
22% reduction*7 24% reduction*7
Clean Factories(CF) CF accreditation rate*8 74% 92% Achieved the target 82% At least 90%
Product recycling
  • Promotion of advanced technologies to select and reuse materials
  • Implementation of recycling measures localized for each region in the world
Achieved the target
  • Developed a recycling technology to decompose organic matter and a recycling system to recover shredded dust
  • Promoted initiatives in Japan, Europe, USA and China
  • Promotion of advanced technologies to select and reuse materials
  • Implementation of recycling measures localized for each region in the world
  • Promotion of circulation of recycled materials
  • *2 CO2 emissions / weight of products (components) transported
  • *3 Waste generation /(Consolidated sales/Bank of Japan’s corporate goods price index [electricmachinery & equipment])
  • *5 Recycling rate = Amount recycled / (Amount recycled + final disposal amount)(In Japan, the target value is mandatory for each site; outside Japan, the target is set for an average value of all sites.)
  • *7 Water consumption / Consolidated sales (Result in fiscal year 2009 based on this calculation was 20% reduction compared to fiscal year 2001)
  • *8 Rate of factories achieving an internal baseline score of environmental impact reduction in a total number of factories
