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, the manufacturing facilities in Thailand, the site of the Group's largest manufacturing operations, suffered damage from local flooding. Of the five manufacturing plants in the country, two were flooded and endured long periods of either suspended activity or limited production. Consequently, the Group's overall environmental output declined compared to previous years.
The Group's environmental impact for FY2011 is summarized below.
