Eco-Factories & Offices

Hitachi is devoted to further improving its environmental activities at the factories and offices.
In recognizing such activities, Hitachi certifies its factories and offices achieved the targets as "Eco-Factories & Offices."
Here we present the efforts under way at Hitachi's factories and offices.

Environmentally conscious in its manufacturing as well,Hitachi engages in these activities.

01 Use energy efficiently without waste.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change, we work to reduce energy consumption.

Monitoring energy consumption and identifying the issues

Hitachi has been systematically upgrading its production equipment to highly efficient equipment. Moreover, with its energy management system, Hitachi has been "visualizing" its energy consumption, and using the system to identify various issues and take necessary actions such as finding and reducing wasteful energy use.

Use limitless natural energy.

Some of our factories and offices use electric power generated with sunlight and other renewable forms of energy in its lighting and air-conditioning. In fiscal 2018, the Hitachi Group as a whole generated as much as 7,067 MWh in total.

Replace the conventional lamps with LEDs.

At both factories and offices, Hitachi has been introducing LED lighting, which is highly efficient in energy conservation. This minimizes energy consumption because these lighting are used every day.

Recycle the resources so as to use them effectively.

Using resources without any waste minimizes waste emissions. We properly treat waste, sort it by the applicable types, and recycle it. In this way, Hitachi works to use the resources effectively.

03 Use precious water carefully and circulate it.

Water an irreplaceable resource. We work to minimize the consumption of water used in our manufacturing.

Use limited water resources ingeniously.

With an ongoing increase in production, particularly at seriously water-lacking locations outside Japan, Hitachi works to minimize its water consumption. We use recycled water in the manufacturing processes and saves water used in the factories.

Manufacturing that does not impact people or nature

The volatile organic compounds (VOC) in paints and cleaning agents used in factories are believed to cause photochemical smog when released into the atmosphere. Hitachi is working to reduce VOC emissions by switching to substitutes for VOC-containing materials and reviewing its work processes.

Eco-conscious offices that
offer comfort to people and the earth.

By designing brighter workplaces that take in natural light, installing high-efficiency air conditioners, and promoting greening, we are working to make offices in an energy-conscious way.

As the result of these activities, Hitachi certifies factories and offices that exhibit a particularly
high degree of environmentally awareness as "Eco-Factories & Offices Select."
