To reduce the environmental burden of business activities, we have set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste, chemical substance emissions, and water use. Facilities that show a high level of environmental consciousness as well as outstanding results in these areas receive Super Eco-Factory & Office certification as a way of promoting environmentally conscious production and encouraging environmental activities.
Super Eco-Factory & Office certifications are given to facilities that have achieved an industry-leading environmental load reduction.
We are promoting reduced energy-related CO2 emissions from production activities as well as CO2 emissions from shipping to help cut greenhouse gases and prevent global warming.
We reduce and recycle waste materials generated during manufacturing, including valuable resources (reusable resources with residual value).
Given the global shortage of water resources, we are committed to promoting effective use of the water by reducing the amount of water consumed in our operations.
We control the chemical substances contained in products across the product life cycle from development and design to procurement, production, quality control, and sales.
In the Hitachi Group, we go the extra mile in environmental management by considering the environmental burden of all our business activities and setting voluntary management criteria more stringent than regulations.
This chart shows resource inputs and the environmental load for Hitachi Group business activities in fiscal 2010.
