6th Environmental Plan

In April 2009, we launched our 6th Environmental Plan (FY2010–2012, years ending March 31). The 6th Environmental Plan focuses on the achievement of Environmental Vision 2021, established in October 2007 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of our founding. Considering the achievements of the 5th Environmental Plan, as well as challenges and changes in the social climate, the 6th Environmental Plan was formulated based on the following perspectives:

  • Setting targets and action plans for environmental performance to realize Environmental Vision 2021
  • Responding to social changes and imperatives surrounding environmental issues
  • Contributing to the creation of a sustainable society through the expansion of environment-related business

Targets for the prevention of global warming will not be based on per unit reductions but on the total amount of reductions, setting a higher target for the creation of a recycling-based society.

To fulfill its responsibility as a corporate group with global operations, Mitsubishi Electric will raise the level of its environmental management and contribute to society through the expanded activities of its environment-related businesses.
