Green Products - Energy Conservation in Products

• GHG Factors for major new products

Regarding the GHG Factor, some of the major products released in fiscal 2007 have already achieved their target values for fiscal 2011. We are therefore making the GP Accreditation criteria stricter year by year with the aim of developing products with even higher GHG efficiency. We will increase the number of product items to which our energy conservation performance technology is applied, thereby improving the overall energy conservation performance of our product portfolio.
