Clean Factories - Initiatives at Offices

As a part of environmentally-conscious activities by employees at our offices, efforts are being made to upgrade various types of infrastructure, resulting in contributions both to environmental preservation activities and to more efficient operations and cost reduction. We have introduced 37,000 IP phones over the past two years, which significantly save energy consumption through consolidating switchboards. This project will be completed in the next two years. We have also introduced digital imaging systems that link to our information systems in order to reduce paper and energy consumption. Moreover, the corporate-wide introduction of an Internet-based meeting system has enabled us to reduce CO₂ emissions in the transportation sector involving the movement of personnel.
