Environmental Management Action Guidelines
Fujikura Group Environmental Management Action Guidelines, Version 4
Since fiscal 2011, we have been fostering environmental activities to achieve the new targets set in line with the Fujikura Group Environmental Management Action Guidelines, Version 4, which we formulated based on the 2015 Mid-Term Business Plan.
Result in fiscal 2014, Target in fiscal 2015

ITEM | Target for the period from fiscal 2011 to 2015 | Result in fiscal 2014 | Evaluation |
---|---|---|---|---|
The Environment | Mitigation of global warming | Reduce total CO2 emissions. Japan: Keep CO2 emissions in fiscal 2015 below 4.3% from the fiscal 2012 level |
CO2 emissions from production and non-production sites in Japan totaled 166,359 tons, down 4.8% from the fiscal 2012 level. | ○ |
Energy conservation: Improve per-unit energy use. Plants in Japan: Improve per-unit energy use by at least 2.0% every year Offices in Japan: Improve per-unit energy use by at least 1.0% every year Overseas plants: Improve per-unit energy use by at least 1.0% every year Overseas offices: Improve per-unit energy use by at least 1.0% every year |
Per-unit energy use decreased by 6.0% and 6.4% at the plants and offices in Japan, respectively, and also decreased by 9.9% at the overseas plants. | ○ | ||
Improve per-unit energy use for the transportation of products by at least 1% every year in Japan | For the past five years, per-unit energy use decreased by 1.8% year on year on average. | ○ | ||
Zero waste emissions | Achieve perfect zero emissions (no landfill waste) both in Japan and abroad | The quantity of inning reduced 42% from the previous fiscal year level,and the inning rate was 0.16% at domestic production bases. | ○ | |
Reduce the total use of packaging materials by at least 7,000 tons annually in Japan | The amount of reduction of the packing material at domestic production bases by reuse and use of returnable box is 8,340 tons. | ○ | ||
Resource conservation & recycling | Reduce water use in Japan | The use of water at the production bases in Japan came to 2,882 km3, increase 5.0% year on year. | × | |
Reduction in substances of concern(SOCs) | Reduce the amount of major SOCs handled by at least 10% relative to fiscal 2010 in Japan | The PRTR handling amount of more than 1 ton a year at domestic production bases was reduced 27 % from the fiscal 2010 level. | ○ | |
Reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) | Reduce atmospheric emissions of major VOCs by at least 10% relative to fiscal 2010 in Japan | In Japan, the atmospheric emissions of major VOCs decreased by 18% from the fiscal 2010 level. | ○ | |
Expansion of environmentally friendly products | Register annually at least 60 products as environmentally friendly products (by conducting environmental assessments on the products) |
The target was attained with the registration of 62 products as environmentally friendly products. | ○ | |
Preventing contamination and promoting green procurement | Manage chemical substances contained in products across the supply chain (Promote green procurement and the management of substances of very high concern) |
More surveys were conducted on the newly regulated substances, such as SVHCs subject to the REACH regulation. | ○ | |
Biodiversity conservation | Work to conserve biodiversity by setting targets in line with the guidelines on biodiversity | Fujikura Ltd. participated in Tokyo's Edo greenery restoration project, and employees monitored living organisms in the Fujikura-Kiba Millennium Woods. | ○ |
The environment guideline was changed as follows in June, 2015.
