Environmental Management
Environmental Protection Plan
Overview of FY2010
The Minebea Group has established an Environmental Protection Plan to realize Minebea's Environmental Philosophy, and is working to achieve the goals of this plan.
In FY2010, the Minebea Group's business results and manufacturing activities recovered from their decline caused by the world economic slump in the wake of the global financial crisis. Compared to the previous term, energy and raw materials usage increased. Nevertheless, we continued to adhere strictly to local laws at our plants and places of business worldwide, and there were no violations of environmental statutes. Our product development, which holds the key to our future as an enterprise, is developing highly energy-efficient motors, AC-DC converters and other new eco-friendly products.
In striving to preserve the environment, considering the environment at the product distribution stage is just as important for enterprises as doing so at the production stage, and the Minebea Group is working steadily to realize such measures as recyclable product packaging.
For FY2011, we have decided to establish and work toward goal fulfillment in all of our CSR activities. Consequently, our ongoing Environmental Protection Plan has been designated as one of our CSR goals, and going forward we will apply a PDCA cycle to our environmental protection initiatives in an appropriate manner.
