Energy Conservation

(Data aggregation for FY2021 performance currently in process)

The Nippon Chemi-Con Group aims to achieve an annual average improvement rate of 1% and higher per unit in energy consumption based on the Low-carbon Society Action Plan by electrical and electronics industries, the plan which started in FY 2013. We promote activities of the energy conservation working groups that are organized by the employees in charge of energy.

Medium-term Target
In light of the "Carbon Neutrality Action Plan" by electrical and electronics industries, we have set our improvement target for energy consumption per unit at an annual average of 1% or higher towards FY2030.
Long-term Target
In light of the common goal set by electrical and electronics industries, we have set our improvement target for energy consumption per unit at an annual average of 1% or higher towards FY2050.

Resource Conservation

(Data aggregation for FY2021 performance currently in process)

In the manufacturing activities of industries, the resources are essential element. Efficient use of such resources will protect global environment and ecology.
We encourage the "3R," recycling, reusing, and reducing activities in order to contribute to the preservation of the environment.

Waste Reduction

(Data aggregation for FY2021 performance currently in process)

The Nippon Chemi-Con Group has addressed activities for resource recycling and reduction in landfill disposal volumes by reducing the amount of industrial waste generated.
We further promote 3R, effective utilization and recycling of resources to reduce wastes including plastic waste and improve the final disposal rate.
