Developing Eco-products (Casio Green Star Products)

│Approach and Policy

Casio is promoting the development of environmentally friendly products from aspect of development and design to recycling after product use. In 1993, Casio began product assessment. New products had to undergo a preliminary assessment for their environmental impact and meet certain criteria in order to be certified as Casio Green Products. Casio has developed many environmentally friendly products.

Since fiscal 2010, Casio has offered products with particularly low environmental impact under more rigorous assessments of environmental performance as Casio Green Star Products. In fiscal 2017, the Group started offering Casio Super Green Star Products, which have even greater environmental performance. Since then, Casio has been working to develop even better environmentally friendly products.

│Targets and Performance

Casio has set a medium- to long-term target for Casio Green Star Products to comprise 90% of total sales by fiscal 2026 and is moving forward with efforts to achieve that target. Based on the medium- to long-term target, Casio set a fiscal 2021 target for Casio Green Star Products to comprise 76% or more of total sales, and that target has been achieved.
Additionally, three new models were certified as Casio Super Green Star Products.

For fiscal 2022, Casio has set a target for Casio Green Star Products to comprise 80% or more of total sales and is carrying out initiatives to achieve that target.
