Management of the environment is a focus of the Hitachi Group 2012 Mid-Term Management Plan looking ahead to fiscal 2012.
We assess the environmental burden of products and services at the design and development stage, designating those products with a reduced environmental burden as Eco- Products. In fiscal 2010, 60 percent of our sales were for Eco-Products.
To reduce the environmental burden of business activities, we have set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste, chemical substance emissions, and water use.
In the Hitachi Group, we have built a global network and are using environmental management systems to foster sound environmental practices and instill “Eco- Mind” in all our employees.
