Initiatives to Reduce the Environmental Impact of Production
Through TB-EK activities, the Toyota Boshoku group works to reduce environmental loads in all business operations encompassing development, design, procurement, production and logistics.
Our business activities and the environment
The Toyota Boshoku group is introducing energy-saving technologies into the production process, making other production-related improvements and increasing efficiency in logistics. We are also working throughout the group to reduce and control chemical substances in compliance with various laws and regulations. This includes waste reduction activities through recycling in our processes both inside and outside the company.
Final year of the Y2010 Environmental Action Plan
In fiscal 2010, the final year of the Y2010 Environmental Action Plan, the Toyota Boshoku group worked as one to reduce environmental loads toward achieving the plan’s goals, which resulted in the attainment of targets for all items.
Environmental Management / Overview of the final year of Y2010 Environmental Action Plan
In particular, as a result of concerted efforts under the Global CO2 Reduction Programme in recent years, we achieved both Y2010 Environmental Action Plan targets as well as challenging targets in this domain.
In terms of waste reduction, we pushed ahead with key activities to minimise the source of waste and promote reuse. Toyota Boshoku continues to maintain direct landfill waste of 0t. We achieved both Y2010 Environmental Action Plan targets as well as challenging targets for incinerated waste.
With regard to management of chemical substances, we comply with the relevant laws and regulations of each country as these expand globally and are promoting reduction and appropriate control in line with the legislation of respective countries.
