Minebea's Environmental Impact
The Minebea Group has plants and sales offices in 18 countries around the world, manufacturing and selling a range of products including bearings—our main product—as well as such products as machined components, rotary components, and electronic devices. When environmental impact is viewed in terms of the ratio of total production by region to sales, Asia (excluding Japan) is estimated to account for approximately 80% of the Minebea Group's consumption and output.
In FY2011, flooding in Thailand, our largest manufacturing base, caused major damage to our local plants and led to the extended suspension or reduction of manufacturing activities. In FY2012, though restoration work at damaged plants was nearly completed and output returned to normal levels, we managed to strengthen our measures for reducing environmental impact at the sites and achieved a particularly large reduction in CO2 emissions.
The Group's environmental impact for FY2012 is summarized below.
