Our commitment to the environment | Disclosing environmental information

We have established an environmental management system to assess Group environmental data. We have increased the scope of data collected in fiscal 2006 and in fiscal 2008, and have made base unit improvements. We will continue to comprehensively collect and disclose data to lower our environmental impact on a Group level including overseas operations.

Key environmental impact reductions in fiscal 2008

1: We lowered electricity consumption at the Nihonbashi head office by 21.6% from fiscal 2002 levels, exceeding the 7.2% reduction target.
2: Fuel-efficient, low-pollution vehicles accounted for 65% of our fleet.
3: We increased green product purchases to 75% of supplies request system items.
4: We lowered the consumption of paper bought through the supplies request system by 9%, compared with a target of 8%.
