Environmental Action Objectives
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.
Increasing Environmentally Friendly Products
Environmental Action Targets (Mid-Term)
- 59% or more of manufactured products to be environmentally friendly in fiscal 2007.

- TOP Environmental Products
It is our aim in the SANYO Electric Group to make all of our products environmentally friendly.
Not only will we make sure that our products conform to energy- and resource-saving standards, such as reducing the amount of electricity they consume and the amount of water and fuel they require; we will also ban or reduce the use of chemicals that have an adverse effect on the environment.
Products developed with the environment in mind are specified as Environmentally-Friendly Products in accordance with our in-house evaluation standards. Those that are in the top ranks of environmentally friendly products in the entire industry are provided to our customers as TOP Environmental Products.
Adopting Green Procurement Measures
We promote Green Procurement measures, which are based on the concept of the entire SANYO Electric group purchasing only products that conform to our voluntary environment consideration standards from suppliers who are active in environmental conservation. In addition, we also aggressively promote our Green Procurement measures together with all of our customers by incorporating the environmental standards, which have been established by customers who purchase our semiconductors that exceed our in-house standards, in the Green Procurement Standards Related to Purchased Goods, issued by the SANYO Semiconductor Group.
