Sustainability Report 2006

The Environmental Action Targets (Mid-Term) were established in order to guarantee the implementation of our basic environmental philosophy. In addition to carrying out regular reviews, we have also adopted measures to improve our core environmental management practices.

Reduction of Greenhouse Effect Gas Emissions

Environmental Action Targets (Mid-Term)

• We are exerting every effort to reduce the emission of CO2, which is a major cause of global warming.
  We achieved a 4.2% reduction in CO2 emissions in fiscal 2005 over those in fiscal 1999.
• We have worked to reduce energy use in order to decrease the amount of CO2 emissions caused by the consumption of electricity and other forms of energy, and we have implemented measures that we expect will reduce the amount of energy used in fiscal 2007 by 11% over fiscal 2004.
  The energy-saving measures we implemented in fiscal 2005 reduced energy consumption by 3.3% over fiscal 2004.
• The amount of specified greenhouse gas (PFC) emissions for fiscal 2010 will be reduced by 10% in comparison with fiscal 1995 figures.
