Data compilation according to new MOE guidelines

Business activities impact the environment in various ways, including the use of natural resources, emissions of hazardous chemical substances and CO₂, and other factors. To reduce the environmental impact of its business operations, OMRON assesses and analyzes the amounts of energy and resources used (inputs) and the amounts of solid waste, wastewater and chemical substance emissions (outputs) at 70 sites throughout the world. The mass balance data is compiled in conformance with the latest Environmental Reporting Guidelines 2007 issued by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), and used to formulate measures to reduce environmental impact.

During fiscal 2007, almost all areas of environmental impact increased compared to the previous year, due to the expansion of Group companies in Japan through M&A, and the increased volume of production abroad. In fiscal 2008, OMRON will review reduction targets by including newly established sites in Japan, while working to reduce environmental impact that accompanies increased production overseas.
