Formulating a new environmental action plan

In April 2011, we formulated the Fifth Environmental Action Plan, which forms the basis of our activities from FY2012 to FY2016, to move towards the realization of a sustainable society where humans coexist with the earth and the environment.

The Action Plan consists of four key environmental measures, namely establishment of a low carbon society, establishment of a recycling-based society, development of a natural-symbiosis-oriented society, fundamental activities. Focusing on activities aimed at coexistence with the local surroundings, as well as management and communication activities, AISIN sets priority projects and formulates specific implementation plans and targets for each AISIN business activity (development and design, production, logistics, sales, etc.), so as to promote overall environmental management. In addition, the environmental activities are not limited to within Japan but are expanded globally through the environment committee in each country.

Furthermore, to impart to society the technology and expertise that is accumulated within the Company, AISIN will also strive to implement new and reinforced measures such as enhancement of global environmental management system, promotion of development and sales of products through the formulation of eco-certification standards, enhanced dissemination of technologies and know-how of environmental management by communicating with external sources and expansion of new businesses which contribute to the cyclic use of resources.
