The Sanyo Group is fully committed to collecting precise data about the impact its business activities have on the environment over the entire life cycles of its products and services, and reducing that impact.

Scope of Survey: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., domestic manufacturing subsidiaries, and major non-manufacturing related companies
Survey Period: Fiscal 2008 (April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009), except for Note ^*1

*1 Data covering October 2007 to September 2008 (not including data for substances subject to PRTR) 

*2 The emission factor specified by the Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan is used as the CO₂ emission factor for purchased electricity.  However, since the figure for fiscal 2008 has not been announced yet, the emission factor for fiscal 2007, which was 0.453kg-CO₂/kWh, is used on a temporary basis.

*3 Solar cells are capable of continuously generating power for approximately 20 years after they are sold. For this reason, CO₂ emission reduction from solar power generation is indicated by the accumulated value since fiscal 2003 when sales expanded in full swing.
