Revision of The Minebea Group's CSR Implementation Principles
Minebea added something extra to the Minebea Group's CSR Implementation Principles in April 2015. The revision reflects Minebea's commitment to taking CSR beyond "risk management," i.e. causing zero harm to society via a focus on regulatory compliance as well as environmental protection and making it also about "value creation," i.e. creating products with new value that are designed to benefit everyone.
The Minebea Group's CSR Implementation Principles
- The Five Principles and our Code of Conduct
In promoting CSR activities, the Minebea Group will appropriately manage the organization in accordance with the "Five Principles," and adhere to its Code of Conduct. - Creation of Social Value through Products
As a manufacturer of precision products supporting society, the Minebea Group is actively developing reliable products which reduce energy consumption, and making them widely available. - Continuous improvement and raising of awareness
We will put forth goals to be achieved, based on understanding the Minebea Group's social responsibilities and the key problems that need to be addressed, and continue to improve our CSR activities through implementation and continual review. We will also strive to raise awareness of CSR among all employees through CSR activities. - Dialogue with stakeholders
Constructive dialogue with stakeholders (employees, customers, shareholders, local communities, global society, suppliers, and the environment) allows us to meet expectations and respond to requests, and we will improve transparency and accountability in our corporate activities.
An example of how Minebea creates value via CSR - Development of a high heat-resistant ball bearing unit for turbochargers
Mounting ball bearings inside a turbocharger has been considered difficult due to the ultrahigh-temperature of the exhaust gas coming from the engine. Minebea developed a high heat-resistant ball bearing unit to reduce the friction resistance inside the turbocharger, resulting in greater engine operating efficiency and better automobile fuel economy.
