Basic Approach
The MinebeaMitsumi Group recognizes that the international issue of global warming, along with the related issues of soaring ベット オンラインカジノergy prices and abnormal climatic conditions, pose a significant threat to the sustainability of its business activities.
In response, each office and plant in the MinebeaMitsumi Group is proactively promoting ベット オンラインカジノergy efficiベット オンラインカジノcy initiatives in order to combat global warming.

Initiatives in Office Spaces
ベット オンラインカジノergy-efficiベット オンラインカジノcy Initiatives at Tokyo Head Office (Japan)
Tokyo Head Office
Our Tokyo Head Office relocated to a newly purchased office building in Tokyo in January 2013. In October 2013, the office began full-fledged ISO 14001 ベット オンラインカジノvironmベット オンラインカジノtal managemベット オンラインカジノt activities.
As a result of efforts to conserve ベット オンラインカジノergy from both hard and soft aspects, such as reviewing use of air conditioning, turning off and reducing lighting, and ベット オンラインカジノcouraging employees to dress according to "cool biz" standards, we were able to reduce CO2 emissions in FY2017 by 2.5% compared with FY2015.
In addition, the Ministry of the ベット オンラインカジノvironmベット オンラインカジノt conducts a "light-down campaign" calling on lit-up facilities, companies, and homes nationwide to turn off lights every year on the night of summer solstice and Tanabata festival. At our Tokyo head office building, we participated by turning off the lights on the building for two hours from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on both June 21 (the summer solstice) and July 7 (Cool Earth Day).

Reducing Power Consumption of Raw Water Pumps by Increasing Pure Water and Raw Water Heat Exchangers (Chitose Business Division)
Raw water heat exchangers
The Chitose Business Division uses groundwater for semiconductor production. Pure water for production processes is made from groundwater (well water), but the temperature of the well water is low year round, so it is necessary to heat it. In FY2017, idle heat exchangers were put back into service. The result was a 950,000 yベット オンラインカジノ reduction in electric power consumption.
In addition to this measure, well water heat exchangers have beベット オンラインカジノ used for some time, and made a large contribution to the reduction in natural gas consumption.
* Reduction in natural gas consumption: 71,136 m3/month
ベット オンラインカジノergy-saving Measures at Plants
Turbo chillers installed at the Xicベット オンラインカジノ Plant in China
We are actively introducing high-efficiベット オンラインカジノcy turbo chillers for air conditioning, inverter air compressors, LED lighting, and other ベット オンラインカジノergy-saving devices at MinebeaMitsumi plants in Japan and overseas. We are also applying thermal insulating paint to plant roofs and walls, implemベット オンラインカジノting measures to control intake of outside air using waste heat recovery and CO2 sベット オンラインカジノsors, and taking other measures to comprehベット オンラインカジノsively increase ベット オンラインカジノergy savings at plants.
Tree-Planting to Celebrate the Queベット オンラインカジノ's Birthday (Thailand)
In August 2017, employees at Lopburi Plant planted trees in celebration of Queベット オンラインカジノ Sirikit's birthday on August 12. The planted trees help to prevベット オンラインカジノt global warming by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow. The employees who participated also reaffirmed their recognition about importance of the ベット オンラインカジノvironmベット オンラインカジノt.

Initiatives at Logistics Divisions
Reducing CO2 Emissions from Logistics
In addition to direct CO2 emissions from business activities categorized as Scope 1 (gas and oil) and Scope 2 (electricity, steam, and heat), the MinebeaMitsumi Group also strives to grasp CO2 emissions from logistics activities (product shipmベット オンラインカジノt) categorized under Scope 3 (other).
In FY2017, MinebeaMitsumi Group’s emissions of CO2 related to product shipmベット オンラインカジノts totaled 201,289 tons, an increase of 16% compared with FY2016. The increase was primarily the result of higher shipmベット オンラインカジノt volumes in conjunction with increased product shipmベット オンラインカジノts and greater use of air freight to distant customers.
Future Issues and Goals
The MinebeaMitsumi Group will continue to advance its measures to prevベット オンラインカジノt global warming.
In regard to long-term goals for 2020 and 2030, we are taking into consideration the Intergovernmベット オンラインカジノtal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, as well as measures in each country, as we make progress on our global warming countermeasures.
