FY 2009 Accomplishments towards the Achievement of Environmental Management Vision 2010

Japanese

NEC established its forward-looking "NEC Environmental Management Vision 2010" in March 2003 in considering its environmental management efforts.
NEC announced its position on contributing to a sustainable society and specific target values for preventing global warming by cutting CO₂ emissions to "0" by 2010 and promoting its activities based on the following 3 aspects towards these targets.

1. Reduce direct CO₂ emissions in its manufacturing and other business related activities.
2. Control CO₂ emissions at the customer utilization stage through energy saving products.
3. Reduce CO₂ emissions of our customers and the society through providing IT solutions.

FY 2009 Results

The following are the results in FY2009:

1. Direct CO₂ emission from manufacturing activities: 1.65 million tons
2. Direct CO₂ emissions at customer product utilization stage: 670,000 tons
3. Reduction of customer and societal CO₂ emissions by providing IT solutions: 1.89 million tons

Activities for Reaching "2010 Environmental Management Vision"

Reducing CO2 emissions from manufacturing activities

CO₂ emissions deriving from energy usage fell an absolute value of 90,000 tons compared with the previous fiscal year. This drop was due to energy conservation measures for the planned introduction of highly efficient energy-saving equipment and improved productivity through production innovation, as well as decreases in production volumes. The GWP converted emission volume successfully reduced greenhouse gases other than CO₂ by 47% compared with the previous fiscal year through the introduction of new elimination devices and the effects of gas substitution. In addition, logistics-based CO₂ emissions dropped 42,000 tons, 13% of that compared to the previous year, through such measures as changing to regularly-scheduled trucks from unscheduled ones and decreasing the number of allocated cars. Thanks to the manufacturing activities of FY 2009, CO₂ emissions were reduced to 1.65 million tons, leaving us just a step away from the FY 2011 target of 1.63 million tons. We will reach this goal by continuing to strengthen and promote measures.

Reducing CO2 emissions through energy saving products

Reducing CO₂ emissions through energy saving products

With a goal of reducing CO₂ emissions during usage to 30% compared to that of products developed in FY 2006, we succeeded in surpassing that number with a reduction of 45%. We now will work toward a further reduction of 100,000 tons by FY 2011 through reinforcing the development of energy-saving related technology, developing highly efficient devices and power-saving control software, and creating a multitude of top-runner environmental products using these technologies.

Increasing CO2 emission reduction effect by providing IT solutions

The effect of reductions in CO₂ emissions reached 1.89 million tons and has increased further through the IT solutions provided in FY 2009. Assessment at the development stages of software and services is solid and ecology and solution activities within NEC Group are being stabilized. In FY 2010, NEC will work toward increased coordination between emphasizing the effect of reductions in the environmental impact and the business of IT solutions in order to achieve the environmental management vision.
