Environmental Impact throughout the Life Cycle

We reduce the environmental impact in our manufacturing processes and develop environmentally conscious products to understand, analyze, and reduce the impact at each stage of the product life cycle.

We procure raw materials and components from suppliers, and manufacture and ship our products. We transport finished products to distributors or warehouses via outsourced forwarding agents. Then, we collect end-of-use products from customers, wherever possible, for reuse and recycling. At the manufacturing stage, CO2 emissions from total energy consumption at plants and offices were 7,832 t-CO2 and 1,659 t-CO2 respectively. Release of chemical substances into the atmosphere and water were 10 tons. The amount of waste recycled was 606 tons and the amount of waste landfilled was 0.2 tons. CO2 emissions from major products shipped in FY2022 throughout their product life is estimated to be 135,669 t-CO2.
