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 FY2006, by FY2021

Long-term target

To reduce the total volume of global greenhouse gas emissions from business activities by 80% compared to FY2006, by FY2051.

* 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 FY1991).

* 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 FY1991).

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit of production by 30% by FY2013 (compared to FY2005).

Office sites outside Japan

Reduce co₂ emissions per unit by 3% by FY2013 (compared to FY2005).

3. Reduction target for greenhouse gases other than co₂

Reduce total emissions of greenhouse gases other than co₂ (co₂ equivalent) by 90 % by FY2013 compared to FY2001.
・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 FY2013 compared to FY2001.

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce water usage per unit of production by 15% by FY2013 compared to FY2005.

Japan sites

Reduce paper usage in offices per unit of sales by 10% by FY2013 compared to FY2008.

5. Waste reduction targets

Japan sites

Reduce generation of waste per unit of actual production by 50% by FY2013 compared with FY2001.

Production sites outside Japan

Reduce generation of waste per unit of production by 30% by FY2013 compared to FY2005.

6. Volatile organic compound (VOC) reduction target

Japan production sites

Reduce emissions of VOCs by 45% by FY2016 compared to FY2001.

* 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 in storage at the Casio Group company in Chuo City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
(Registered consignment of detoxification with the Japan Environmental Safety Corporation – June 2006)
・Jurisdiction: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.

* 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 FY2013 compared to FY2004.

9. Green procurement target

Maintain 100% green parts procurement rate (all supplied parts are green parts) of FY2013.

* 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 FY2013.

* 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 FY2006

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