Kelestarian
Pengurangan Kesan Alam Sekitar Sepanjang Rantaian Bekalan
Dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, terdapat konsensus hampir global mengenai keperluan untuk ekonomi bulat—model perniagaan di mana sumber digunakan secara bulat. Bertujuan untuk mewujudkan model pembuatan yang menjana beban alam sekitar sifar sepanjang kitaran hayat produknya, pada Jun 2024 Fuji Electric mengemas kini mesej Wawasan Alam Sekitar 2050nya. Kami juga mewujudkan Matlamat Fiskal 2030 baharu untuk beralih kepada produk mesra alam yang memenuhi Peraturan Ekorekabentuk EU untuk Produk Lestari.
Sebelum ini, semasa pengeluaran kami memberi tumpuan kepada mengurangkan bahagian sisa yang dihantar ke tapak pelupusan, dan mengawal pengambilan air; Walau bagaimanapun, pada masa hadapan, sebagai tambahan kepada aktiviti ini, kami berhasrat untuk mengehadkan jumlah sisa yang kami hasilkan. Atas sebab ini, kami merancang untuk menyemak reka bentuk produk yang kami keluarkan, dan beralih kepada pembuatan produk mesra alam. Lebih khusus lagi, kami telah merumuskan kriteria penilaian untuk produk mesra alam berdasarkan Peraturan Ecodesign untuk Produk Lestari, dan kami akan secara beransur-ansur menghentikan produk yang tidak memenuhi kriteria ini. Kami juga berhasrat untuk bekerjasama dengan pembekal kami untuk mempromosikan aktiviti yang bertujuan untuk mengira dan mengurangkan jejak karbon kami. Matlamat utama kami adalah untuk menghapuskan beban alam sekitar sepanjang kitaran hayat produk kami, dan dengan itu menyumbang kepada merealisasikan masyarakat berorientasikan kitar semula yang wujud bersama secara harmoni dengan alam semula jadi.
Penggunaan Sumber dan Pemuliharaan Bahan Mentah yang Berkesan
At Fuji Electric, we are engaged in efforts to ensure the efficient use of resources and reduce our use of raw materials. In line with ISO 14001, we are working to improve our environmental management systems in the most effective manner, according to the individual characteristics of each of our factories. The effectiveness of these efforts is verified through assessments by external organizations based on ISO 14001.
Specifically, we have tasked the following two Subcommittees to improve our environmental management systems; design divisions and manufacturing divisions set and work to achieve goals independent of each other.
For design divisions, the Product Assessment Subcommittee seeks to make products more compact, lighter, and longer lasting; it also aims to minimize use of difficult-to-recycle plastics and eliminate the use of hazardous chemical substances.
For manufacturing divisions, the Waste Management Subcommittee seeks to ensure raw materials are used efficiently, prevent defective products, and to increase recycling rates by reusing packing materials and strengthening waste sorting processes.
Fuji Electric will continue to promote improvement activities at its factories, and leverage these improvements to transition toward the manufacture of environmentally friendly products.
Reducing Environmental Impact Throughout the Entire Product Lifecycle
In pursuit of our Environmental Vision 2050 to realize a circular society, Fuji Electric is developing environmentally friendly design items and standards in accordance with the EU Eco-design Directive, with the aim of creating products aligned with a circular economy. Through reducing the environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle, Fuji Electric is committed to contributing to the resolution of our customers’ environmental challenges.
Approach to Carbon Footprint of Products (CFP)
We are working on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions across the product lifecycle in terms of CO₂ emissions.
In fiscal 2024, we conducted a pilot calculation for two flagship models (electromagnetic switch and vending machine) covering procurement to production, and identified challenges for full-scale calculation.
In fiscal 2025, we plan to expand the scope to include additional products such as low-voltage inverters and semiconductors, and will also work on collecting primary data in collaboration with our business partners.
Promoting Circular Economy
Environmentally Friendly Products
We will promote conformity to the standards stipulated in Japan and overseas environmental regulations as well as increase the ratio of new products that are “environmentally friendly products” over the medium to long term. We will establish evaluation items and standards at the product development and design stages, and build a system to evaluate our products’ environmental impacts and work to reduce such environmental impacts.
Environmental Traceability
To visualize whether our products are produced in a sustainable manner, we will promote the visualization of environmental traceability on a per-product basis using DPP. In cooperation with our business partners, we will disclose information on our products’ raw materials, CFP, and recyclability to customers and society at large, and we will work to create a system that enables customers to choose our products with confidence.
