- *1
- Calculated by subtracting the actual consumption amount from the consumption amount estimated for cases in which the environmental conservation activity was not implemented.
- *2
- The environmental conservation benefits are calculated as the volume recycled and reused.
- *3
- CO2 emissions are calculated for major new products that were shipped in this fiscal year by subtracting the estimated CO2 emissions associated with the new products in use from the estimated CO2 emissions associated with the conventional products in use.
Stage | Type of benefit | Benefits |
---|---|---|
Usage | Electricity consumption reduced *4 | 29,530 MWh |
Electricity bills reduced *5 | 425 million yen |
- *4
- Electricity consumption reduced is calculated for major new products that were shipped in fiscal 2019 by subtracting the estimated energy consumption of the new products in use from the estimated energy consumption of the conventional products in use.
- *5
- Calculated by multiplying the average electrical power unit price over the Group's production sites in Japan by the amount of electricity consumption reduced.
