     Under the Seventh AISIN Consolidated Environmental Action Plan, specific goals and action plans toward 2025 have been determined. Based on four environmental axes, items concerning life-cycle CO2 emissions reduction and renewable energy input, which AISIN has been strongly recognizing as important issues recently, have been newly added. Also, among the items concerning improvement of water resource efficiency in production activities, waste reduction, etc., the scenarios for strengthening environmental activities has been re-established through measures to improve the level of set goals, such as changing from qualitative goals to quantitative goals and the addition of goals for overseas sites.
