Activities Report

The Plant s energy saving activities included space-saving to
optimize the production space in more economical way, revision of
air conditioner layouts in line with it, and replacing obsolete air
conditioner with more energy-saving models. Though the production volume was increasing, the volume of energy consumed in the
Plant was successfully reduced due to the use of external air heat.
Use of toluene was significantly reduced after revising flushingmethods and other efforts. As a course of interactions with thelocal communities, an instructor was sent to Iwaki Occupational
Skill Development and Promotion Center (Polytech Center Iwaki)
for environmental education. Each waste separation box in the
Plant now has a picture of waste so that everyone can understandwhich wastes should be put into which box.

This is a manufacturer and designer of production facilities andmore than 70% of sales are occupied with assembling systems forauto parts. Due to the recent trend of oil price hike, there haveemerged the needs for upgrading fuel efficiency of machines. Inline with this trend, more orders are placed to the company forpart production systems. The company underlines eco-friendly
design and green factory in the course of its environmental
protection activities; the former aims at decreasing environmental
burdens emitted from the customers premises in using the facilities
delivered by the company, and the latter aims at decreasing
environmental burdens imposed by business activities of thecompany.
1. Eco-friendly design of facilities: decreasing electricity consumption, non-use of PVC materials and solder containing lead, andsmall-in-size design

2. Green factory: decreasing electricity consumption and eliminating and reusing wastes
As a course of its efforts in decreasing electricity consumption,assembling systems and facilities are now concentrated to thesame area. This enabled switching off of lighting equipment andair conditioners located at non-used areas, contributing to minimization of electricity consumption. In addition to this is decreasing
the time required for assembling and adjustment of a facility to aminimum. Such energy saving activities could reduce CO2 emission.
The company s interaction with the local communities included:①participation to a local cleaning campaign on the Hosoe-Cho

FDK Mechatronics designs and manufactures stepper motors,
doing business to make a plant a mass production plant andpromoting and controlling motor businesses in general. Its
environmental management activities in FY2006 mainly included
reinforcement of our eco-product promotion organization in preparation for the start of application of RoHS Directive in July 2006.
More precisely, chemical substances inspection was conducted toall suppliers in and out of Japan to investigate the status of chemical substances used to all parts currently produced and delivered
to us. Inspection organization was reinforced to ensure that the
progress of the inspection was visualized so that everyone canunderstand it. To a supplier of parts considered that stronger

control would be necessary, a process audit was conducted toconfirm that a system to totally avoid use of banned products to
products was set up in the supplier. As a result, for some suppliers which failed to improve their system, we stopped purchasing
items from them to ensure that we comply with the relevant laws
and for the purpose of assuring quality of products we manufacture. Internally, employee education on chemical substances wascontinued. In addition, we have set up a rule on analyzing suchchemical substances and a control and assurance system inoperation to check them at a design review conducted when aproduct is designed.
