The Pioneer Group is working to prevent global warming, to recycle resources and to reduce environmentally hazardous substances. In FY2011 we succeeded in achieving SIX out of our SEVEN targets. Based on this result, we will set targets for our activities in FY2012 and FY2014.
Main Targets and Results in FY2011
| Category | Issue | Target | Results | Self assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Targets | Global warming prevention | CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions Japan: 36% reduction from FY1991 level |
Achieved 59% reduction, on track to achieve reduction targets for the 2008 to 2012 period | ◯ |
| Resource recycling | Reducing valuable resources/waste materials Japan: 1% reduction from FY2010 level on a per unit of actual production*1 basis |
Achieved 36% reduction | ◎ | |
| Controls | Global warming prevention |
Control of CO2 emissions from the transport of products, Japan: 1% reduction over previous year per unit of sales*2 |
Actual emissions per unit of sales reduced 36% | ◎ |
| Resource recycling | Recycling rate for valuable resources/waste material
・Japan: Maintain 99.5% rate or higher ・Overseas: Maintain 99% rate or higher |
Achieved 100% at all operating bases | ◯ | |
| Chemical substance control | ・Control of VOC emissions 30% reduction from FY2001 level ・Control of PRTR substances 60% reduction from FY2001 level |
・Achieved 87% reduction ・Achieved 100% reduction |
◎ | |
| Atmospheric pollution prevention | SOx and NOx emissions reduction 20% reduction from FY 2005 level | Achieved 95% reduction | ◎ | |
| Green purchasing | Green purchasing promotion Maintain guidelines (95%) | Slightly underachieved 93% reduction | △ |
(Note) Self-evaluation standards (broad estimates): ◎ Significantly exceeded the target: 110% or more / ◯ Achieved the target: 100% to less than 110% / △ Fell slightly short of the target: 95% to less than 100% / × Failed to meet the target: less than 95%
*1 Emissions per unit of actual production: CO2 emissions ÷ Real output (calculated by dividing the production output for each fiscal year by the Bank of Japan Domestic Corporate
Goods Price Index for electronic products, with fiscal 1990 as the base year). The Goods Price Index for fiscal 2010 was 0.3995.
*2 Emissions per unit of sales: CO2 emissions ÷ Sales (calculated by dividing the sales for each fiscal year by the Bank of Japan Domestic Corporate Goods Price Index for electronic
products, with fiscal 2006 as the base year). The Goods Price Index for fiscal 2010 was 0.843.
