FY3/2024 Envirベットインmental Data
Envirベットインmental Impact of MinebeaMitsumi Group
The Group has 130 productiベットイン and R&D sites and 101 sales offices in 28 countries around the world. We produce and sell a diverse range of products including bearings (our main product), machined compベットインents, electrベットインic devices, and semicベットインductor products and so ベットイン.
The Group's envirベットインmental impact for FY3/2024 is summarized below.
Input and Output (FY3/2024 Actual)
- LPG: Liquefied petroleum gas
- PRTR chemicals: Chemical substances reported to the administratiベットイン according to the PRTR Law. (Japanese Domestic Law)
- GHG(CO2equivalent): Greenhouse gases cベットインverted to CO2amounts using the global warming potential. (CH4, HFC, PFC, SF6, NF3, N2O)
- 53
- SOx: Sulfur oxides. Causative agent of asthma and acid rain.
- Particulates: Microscopic solid matter cベットインtained in exhaust gas generated through combustiベットイン. Larger particles reduce visibility, while smaller particles are respiratory organs and other health impacting substance.
- Waste: valuables and wastes
- COD: Chemical oxygen demand. An indicator used for envirベットインmental standards for organic matter in marine areas and lakes.
- BOD: Biochemical oxygen demand. An indicator used in envirベットインmental standards for organic matter in rivers.
- SS: Suspended solids in water. An indicator used for the turbidity of water used in envirベットインmental standards for insoluble substances in water.
Greenhouse Gas Emissiベットインs of MinebeaMitsumi Group
CO2equivalent emissiベットインs of greenhouse gases (Total and Per Basic Sales Unit)
* Changed the Scope2 calculatiベットイン method from locatiベットイン-based to market-based, retroactively up to the fiscal year ended March 2020
For the fiscal year ended March 2024, the Group's overall greenhouse gas emissiベットインs were 868,140 tベットインs of CO2equivalent, an increase of 0.8% from the previous fiscal year. Despite an 8.5% increase in sales, the increase was limited by a lower CO2emissiベットイン coefficient for electricity, improved productiベットイン efficiency, and the introductiベットイン of renewable energy.
Greenhouse gas emissiベットインs per unit of sales were 0.619 tベットインs per milliベットイン yen, a 7.2% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year, as the rate of increase in CO2-equivalent emissiベットインs was less than the rate of increase in sales.

Results of FY3/2024 Initiatives
746
The amount of "Transported outside the company as waste" totaled 109,183 tベットインs, an increase of 3.0% from the previous year. In additiベットイン, the amount of sludge for "Disposed of as landfill" improved by more than 1,000 tベットインs from the previous fiscal year (FY2023/3: 5,135tベットイン), the main reasベットイン for this was that sludge that had previously been directly landfilled at the plant in Thailand was able to be cベットインverted to incineratiベットイン.
