In “Environmental CSV”, HCM Group aims to reduce CO2 emissions from the use of our products by 3.5 million tons.
This means that as we reduce CO2 emissions by improving the environmental efficiency of our products, our contribution to curbing CO2 emissions from the use of our products will be 3.5 million tons per year by FY 2025 compared with the products of the base year, fiscal 2005.
To reach these goals, we are working to increase the proportion of our products that are Hitachi Eco-Products, which place a reduced burden on the environment. We are expanding business opportunities further by working with partners in global markets.
