Plant and Business-site Targets

1. Medium- and long-term targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction

Medium-term target

To reduce the total volume of global greenhouse gas emissions from business activities by 30% compared to fiscal 2006, by fiscal 2021

Long-term target

To reduce the total volume of global greenhouse gas emissions from business activities by 80% compared to fiscal 2006, by fiscal 2051.

* Business activities: This indicates activities of production sites and offices in Japan and overseas, and does not include co₂ emissions from logistics, product usage, or employee travel.

2. Energy conservation targets (electrical power, fuel etc.)

Japan production sites

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit of actual production by 35%, averaged over 5 years from FY2009 to 2013 (compared to FY 1991).

* Actual production is calculated by adjusting the production output by the Bank of Japan Domestic Corporate Goods Price Index for electronic products, based on the policies of the four main electrical and electronics industry associations in Japan

Japan office sites

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit by 9%, averaged over 5 years from FY2009 to 2013 (compared to FY 1991).

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit of production by 30% by FY2013 (compared to FY 2005).

Office sites outside Japan

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit by 3% by FY2013 (compared to FY 2005).

3. Reduction target for greenhouse gases other than co₂

Reduce total emissions of greenhouse gases other than co₂ (co₂ equivalent) by 90 % by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2001.
・Reduce HFC-134a emissions

* Replace HFC-134a used in machinery such as dust blowers, with products that use chemical substances that have a lower global warming factor

4. Resource conservation targets (water, paper)

Japan production sites

Reduce water usage per unit of actual production by 25% by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2001.

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce water usage per unit of production by 15% by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2005.

Japan sites

Reduce paper usage in offices per unit of sales by 10% by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2008.

5. Waste reduction targets

Japan sites

Reduce generation of waste per unit of actual production by 50% by fiscal 2013 compared with fiscal 2001.

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce generation of waste per unit of production by 30% by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2005.

6. Volatile organic compound (VOC) reduction target

Japan production sites

Reduce emissions of VOCs by 45% by fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2001.

* 20 types of VOCs are specified by the four main electrical and electronics industry associations in Japan. Among them, Casio uses 8 types.

7. Hazardous substance phase-out target

Detoxify PCB-containing equipment now in storage as Japan Environmental Safety Corporation (JESCO) starts program in each region.
・Kofu Casio Co., Ltd: By fiscal 2014

* Store stabilizers, including the low concentration capacitors kept at Hachioji R&D Center, until they can be accepted by JESCO.

8. Target for output reduction of PRTR substances

Japan production sites

Reduce output of PRTR substances per unit of actual production by 40% by fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2004.

9. Green procurement target

Maintain 100% green parts procurement rate (all supplied parts are green parts) of fiscal 2012.

* Green parts: Parts and materials that do not contain prohibited substances as designated by Casio

* Excluding those substances that are within legal limits, if customer request

10. Green purchasing target

Raise the green purchasing ratio at Japan sites to 75% of total purchases (based on the number of purchases) by fiscal 2013.

* Applicable to sites using the CATS e-P system

11. Logistics target for the fight against climate change

Achieve by 2012 a 22% reduction in CO₂emissions* from logistics in Japan per unit of sales, compared to fiscal 2006

* Scope covers processes relating to product sales, not including processes relating to materials procurement and recycling
