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 FY2013, the input amount of raw materials increased by approximately 23% year on year due to a surge in sales. We limited the increase in total energy input, however, to 2% year on year. The amount of industrial oil rose by 5% year on year, while the amount of solvents and cleaning agents was on par with FY2012, reflecting our ability to restrain our impact on the environment relative to the amount of sales (production).
The Group’s environmental impact for FY2013 is summarized below.
