Environmental Report 2011
Setting Targets and Evaluating Results
In August 2005, the JAE Group integrated its domestic environmental management systems into a single, multi-site system that sets targets and objectives for the entire JAE Group, while taking into consideration the unique initiatives implemented at each site.Overview of FY 2010
In FY 2010, the six targets of measures against climate change, increasing green procurement, reducing raw materials use, reducing chemical substances, reducing waste material, and lessening environmental impacts were raised as the environmental goals of the JAE Group. Overall, the targets were achieved. The common target set by four electric/electronics organizations for reduction in average CO2 emissions per unit of real sales, which is one of the targets in the fight against climate change, was achieved, but external factors, including the impact of the strong yen and 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, caused us to fall just slightly short of our goals, although our target achievement rate was still 98%. The following table shows the figures in detail.| ctivity | Objective | Target | Results | Evaluation (note) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress with measures against climate change | Reduction in average CO2 emissions per unit of real sales (1990 level) |
40% (common target of four electrical/electronics organizations: 35%) |
△39% | △ |
| Reducing CO2 emissions caused by energy usage | 2,828 tons-CO2 or more | 3,345 tons-CO2 | ○ | |
| Curbing CO2 emissions caused by materials production by cutting materials usage | 473 tons-CO2 or more | 704 tons-CO2 | ○ | |

| Reduction in deleterious substances by wastewater recycling system (HAE) | Reduction of 18 tons or more | 19 tons | ○ | |
| Reduction in amount of cleaning fluid and press lubricant purchased (YAE) | 7,064 kg or less | 2,101 kg | ○ | |
| Reduction in amount of cleaning fluid used (FAE) | 96 kg or less | 30 kg | ○ | |
| Reduction in amount of organic solvent used by changing cleaning method (SAE) | Reduction of 25% or more | 25% | ○ | |
| Reduce waste materials | Reduction in amount of waste plastics through recovery of valuable plastics (JAE) | 1,860 kg or less | 591 kg | ○ |
| Improvement of recovery of valuable molding waste (HAE) | 67% or more | 79% | ○ | |
| Reduction in amount of mixed waste plastic by sorting and recycling (YAE) | 32 tons or less | 17 tons | ○ | |
| Reduction in amount of waste by lowering percentage of product's defects (SAE) | Reduction of waste by 48% or more | 79% | ○ | |
| Reduce environmental impact by promoting eco-friendly designs | Confirm environmental compatibility of newly developed products and applied it to designs (JAE) | 100% implementation | 100% implementation | ○ |
| Promote resource conservation and energy-saving designs for existing products (JAE) | Reduction of 5% or more | 26% | ○ | |
| Reduce weight of molds for new additions/updates/expansions. | 18% or more | 28% | ○ |
Future Efforts
In FY 2011, the JAE Group has set the same environmental activity areas across the group as in FY 2010 and is now working to attain targets in each area.| Activity | Target/Plan | Sites |
|---|---|---|
| Measures against climate change | Reduction in average CO2 emissions per unit of real sales (1990 level) | All Sites |
| Reduction by measures against CO2 emissions caused by energy usage | ||
| Curbing CO2 emissions caused by materials production by cutting materials usage | ||
| Reduce use of materials | Reduction of the amount of metal used | HAE |
| Reduce use of chemical substances | Select three items at each site and aim for 10% cuts | All Sites |
| Reduce waste materials | Enable recycling for cleaning fluids, promote recovery of valuable waste plastics, reduce defect rates, etc. | |
| Practice green procurement | Check environmental quality at suppliers | |
| Reduce environmental impacts by promoting eco-friendly designs | Achieve 100% environment database registration, reduce environmental impacts through resource conservation, energy conservation, long life, and compact designs | JAE/YAE |
