Reducing the Environmental Impact of Our Products
Our basic approach to product development
Our Mission Statement clearly states our dedication to creating valued products that will contribute to a brighter future for society and striving to attain a better global environment. In line with this perspective, we take into account making a positive impact on the environment and reducing the environmentally burdensome substances contained within our products as we go about developing them.
As an initiative to make a positive impact on the environment, we are contributing significantly to lightening the environmental load by combining the energy storage systems provided by our NECST business as well as V2H systems that provide electricity to households using EV and PHV car batteries with solar power generation, which makes it possible to supply power without CO2 emissions. The volume of power generated has reached around 380 million kWh per year, which translates to around 210,000 tons of CO2 emissions eliminated.
At the same time, our mainstay capacitors and other products named “GeoCap®” and “GeoDRY®” are free from polyvinyl chloride, lead and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), preventing hazardous substances from polluting the environment when disposed of. When it comes to circuit products as well, the products are smaller, so they use fewer materials, allowing for greater conservation of energy.
We will continue to work on developing such products and expanding our business in pursuit of a brighter future for society and attaining a better global environment as set forth in our Mission Statement.
