SANYO Electric Group Environmental Policies
Becoming a "Leading Provider for energy and environment"
Basic Policy

Based on the corporate vision, "Think GAIA," and as a "leading provider for energy and environment," the SANYO Electric Group is aiming to protect the global environment while also realizing a prosperous and secure society. In order to achieve this goal, SANYO is taking a leadership role in the global environmental field.

Action Plan
To put into practice the basic policy, the SANYO Group as a whole is committed to undertaking the following measures on a global level.
1.Reforming awareness and behavior
With all employees changing their thinking and actions and carrying out environmental protection activities independently, the SANYO Group also intends to actively enhance its environmental contribution through its products. In order to achieve this, SANYO will not only carry out environmental education and awareness-raising activities, it will also strengthen investment in management resources for the commercialization of products that help protect the environment.
2.Compliance
In addition to identifying environmental issues, the SANYO Group will establish and observe regulations and standards that reflect both the law and the expectations of society.
3.Development of businesses that contribute to the environment
By developing revolutionary technologies that help resolve environmental issues, the SANYO Group will actively develop business areas that promote products beneficial to the environment, and thereby increase its corporate value.
4."Zero emissions" challenge
The SANYO Group is rising to the challenge of attaining zero emissions through reforms based on the management of harmful chemical substances, the reduction of energy and materials use, and the streamlining of operations through individual employee efforts. As a result of this, SANYO will help to minimize the effects of global warming, save decreasing resources, reduce waste, and prevent pollution. Moreover, activities under the SANYO environmental management system must continually be improved, through the active setting and periodic reviewing of targets from a practical, long-term perspective.
5.Working with society to improve the global environment
By actively disclosing information and participating in the improvement of the natural environment, the SANYO Group intends to build good relationships with societies around the world, and actively contribute to the conservation of the global environment.
Scope:
The activities mentioned above are to be systematically promoted at all product stages including R&D, design, materials procurement, manufacturing, distribution and sales, consumer use, disposal, and recycling. They apply to all business areas including the provision of products and services relating to AV and communication devices, electrical equipment, industrial equipment, electronic devices, and batteries.
