Mitsubishi Electric
Fulfills Major Targets of Environmental Vision 2021
Mitsubishi Electric has fulfilled the major targets of its just-completed Environmental Vision 2021, introduced in 2007. This long-term environmental vision aimed at promoting a Low-carbon Society, a Recycling-oriented Society and a Society in Harmony with Nature by 2021, the company’s 100th anniversary. More specifically, in terms of greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions the company achieved a 56% reduction from the FY2001 level in emissions from manufacturing operations, thereby exceeding the original 30% reduction target. By reducing the sizes and weights of its products, the company reduced its resource inputs by an average of 43% across 64 product groups, which surpassed the original 30% target. The company is now working to achieve the targets of its current long-term environmental vision, Environmental Sustainability Vision 2050, under which it aims to contribute to an increasingly sustainable world.
