AISIN set forth 15 goals in the Third Environmental Action Plan for the fiscal years 2002 through to 2006 and proactively pursued these objectives based on an environmental management system. As a result, all of the goals originally outlined were basically achieved; however, some goals were not met due to unexpected developments, mainly concerning decreases in CO₂ emissions.

Although Aisin Seiki strived to meet the challenging goal of a 5% reduction in CO₂ emissions by fiscal 2006 versus fiscal 1991 levels, CO₂ levels rose 7.9% due to rapidly increased production volume and the construction of new facilities, both stemming from business expansion particularly since fiscal 2005, which grew 31% between fiscal 2001 and 2006. However, we made tremendous efforts to conserve energy through "mono-zukuri innovations" over those five years, resulting in the crowning success of a 20% reduction in CO₂ emission volume per unit of sales.
