Developing Eco-products (Casio Green Star Products)
In order to minimize the environmental impact of its products, Casio is promoting the development of environmentally friendly products in every aspect of planning and design.
In 1993, Casio began product assessment in order to systematize and promote its development of eco products. 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 been working to increase the ratio to total sales of these products.
Since fiscal 2010, Casio has offered products that achieved outstanding evaluations under more rigorous assessments of environmental performance as Casio Green Star Products.
Then, in fiscal 2017, the Group established and started offering Casio Super Green Star Products, which have even greater environmental performance.

Casio Green Star Product Sales Ratio
Casio has set targets for the Green Star Product sales ratio and has worked to achieve them. In fiscal 2017, Casio established a medium-term target to “increase the Casio Green Star product sales ratio to 70% of total sales by fiscal 2021.” However, the result for fiscal 2018 was 69%, and it was expected that the company would be able to achieve the target ahead of schedule. Therefore, Casio established a new medium-term target to “increase the Casio Green Star product sales ratio to 90% by fiscal 2026” in order to set an even higher target.
Casio will also continue to increase certification of Casio Super Green Star Products, which it established in fiscal 2017 as the ranking for the highest standard of its eco products.
