Mitsubishi Electric has established a voluntary target of reducing its total CO2 emissions from production by 30% by 2021. Implementation of the Energy Conservation Action Plan, drafted in fiscal 2005, has been a primary factor in enabling reductions to date.

The Energy Conservation Action Plan consists of three types of measures--introducing high-efficiency equipment, undertaking Energy Loss Minimum (EM) activities, and fuel conversion. In fiscal 2009, investment in such measures as well as productivity improvements resulted in CO2 emissions reduction of 14,000 tons.

This section outlines some of the measures Mitsubishi Electric is putting in place to help reduce the amount of CO2 emitted through our manufacturing activities.
