Carbon dioxide emissions during the period a product is used far exceed emissions given off when it is produced. Our goal is to improve the energy efficiency of our products in order to cut CO2 emissions from product usage by 30% by 2021.
We have successfully met our voluntary targets thanks to energy conservation initiatives on the production floor and proactive investment in energy-efficient facilities. Starting in fiscal 2009, we will strive to cut total CO2 emissions from production by 30%.
Introducing Fukuyama Works as a case study in energy conservation. The plant has generated results by fully utilizing Mitsubishi Electric's energy efficiency support devices and by making energy use highly visible in order to manage specific energy consumption.
