Action plan for globally strengthening environmental activities
FDK Group The Sixth Environmental Action Plan
The Sixth Environmental Action Plan, a three-year plan covering FY2010 through FY2012, addresses such issues as climatechange and biodiversity.
Previous environmental action plans focused on domestic issues. In this latest plan, however, we have newly set global targets.
Thus, by the end of FY2012, we aim to reduce the CO2 from energy consumption by 6% from the FY1990 level, and cut theamount of waste material produced by 20% from the FY2007 level. Moreover, we will conduct social contribution activities andwork to preserve biodiversity.

DescriptionTopics

Targets (2010 to 2012)

Activities to Reduce CO2

Promoting the Developmentof EnvironmentallyFriendly Designs• Develop at least 3 types of super-green products.
• Achieve an Environmental Efficiency Factor 1.2 ormore for newly developed products.

Preventing Global Warming• Reduce CO2 emissions from energy consumption by 6%from the FY1990 level.

Reducing EnvironmentalBurdens through 3R(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)
Activities• Reduce chemical emissions by 10% from the FY2007 level.
• Reduce the amount of waste material produced by 20%
from the FY2007 level.
• Continue to maintain a 90% reuse rate for product materials.

Promoting Green
Procurement
Strengthening
Environmental Management• Increase the number of business partner sites thatbuild an EMS.

As an eﬀort to reduce CO2, FDK
Twicell will introduce a solar
energy generation facility (systemcapacity: 120 kWh) scheduled tobe completed at the end ofOctober 2010.

Equivalent in camphor trees
Approximately 112 trees
Solar Power Generation Panels• Promote integration of the EMSs of Headquarters
departments.
• With FDK Tottori and FDK Twicell, conduct activities
to integrate EMSs.

Cultivating Communication• In cooperation with local communities, conduct
with Local Communities, andenvironmental contribution and social contribution
activities and work towards the preservation ofContributing to the Preservation
biodiversity.

Earth-Friendly Development of Products
Development of Environmentally Conscious Products
When developing products, the FDK Group conducts a design review and performs a product environmental assessment aimedat building eco-friendliness into the product. Moreover, we have been grappling with the development of super-green products
since FY2004, and working to increase the Environmental Eﬃciency Factor of products since FY2007.

Large-Capacity Lithium Ion Capacitor
This is a storage device with a long charge/discharge cycle life and an ability to
rapidly accept and discharge a large current.
By storing unneeded power and then discharging it when necessary, this device
enables the eﬃcient use and stable supply of power. It can also be used in hot
environments.

Eﬀective
Use ofElectricalPower

Used in Solar Power Generation Systems

Jointly developed with Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd., lithium ion capacitor module isused for stabilizing the solar power generation systems on which demonstration
experiments have been conducted, since August 2010, on Yonaguni Island and other
outlying islands of Okinawa Prefecture. Equipping a solar power generation system witha lithium capacitor module makes it possible to stabilize the ﬂuctuations in output causedby climate and other factors.

Linear Tube LED Lamp and Power Source

Friendly to both the environment and people, this lighting device is able to replace
ﬂuorescent lamps (40W, 20W). Compared to ﬂuorescent lamps, it reduces energy
consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 60%. Thanks to a uniquelight-dispersing technology, dot patterns and glare have been eliminated.
