FY2004 Environmental Action Goals and Achievements

Environmental conservation is promoted by defining quantitative goals for each important item. The FY2004 activities and results are indicated below

Action Plan

Action Goal of FY2004

Activities and Results in FY2004

Evaluation

Eradicate Occupational Accident

Zero occupational accidents

Zero commutation accidents

Zero serious accidents with the production facilities

3 occurrences of lost work-time injuries. 2 case increase over previous year

3 commutation accident occurrences. 2 case reduction over previous year

No accidents on production facilities, thus, goal attained

△

Promote Energy Conservation

1% improvement of energy consumption rate in annual percentage rate

Energy consumption increased 2%, energy consumption rate deteriorated 6% compared to previous FY. Increase of production requiring high energy input resulted in energy consumption increase.

3% improvement over FY1990 consumption level.

△

Reduce Greenhouse Gases Emission

[Action Goal] By FY2010, 10% reduction of CO₂ emission over FY1990 level.

CO₂ emission increased 0.6 % over the previous FY emission level.
　Even though introduction of manufactured gas boiler contributed to CO₂ emission reduction, overall emission increased slightly.

5% reduction over FY1990 emission level

△

Eliminate Industrial Waste

1% reduction in annual rate of waste generation

Promote zero emission*

Waste generation increased 10% over the previous year. Waste disposal by commissioned subcontractors increased 16%. Recycling rate increased slightly over the previous FY, to 58.5％.

The final landfill quantity was 782t, 39% decrease over the previous FY.
Rate of final landfill was 5.1%, greatly improved from 8.8% of the previous FY.

Kashima factory successfully achieved zero emission; final landfill rate was 1%. This was the second factory achieving zero emission. Sohma factory was the first to achieve zero emission at Asahi Denka Group.

○

Reduce Environmental Pollutant Discharge

10% reduction of PRTR* substance discharge in annual rate

SOx*, NOx*, dust, COD*, BOD* were respectively controlled, at a self-management level beyond regulation level.

The total discharge level of PRTR substances was 9 tons, 1 ton reduction over the previous FY. There are 57 PRTR legislation target substances.

○

Promote Green Procurement*

75% green procurement rate

Green procurement rate of stationery was 70%, a 3% decrease over the previous FY.
Green procurement rate of non- stationery goods was 74%, a 5% increase over the previous FY.

△

Promote Management System

Make a master plan for IMS approval

Continuous improvement of OHSAS18001 performance

Continuous improvement of ISO14001 performance

Sohma factory established IMS and obtained IMS certification
Kashima factory started preparation for IMS certification.

Six Asahi Denka factories continued improvements for OHSAS18001

Six Asahi Denka factories and two group company factories continued improvements for ISO14001.Kashima factory completed transfer investigation to revised standard of ISO14001.

Five Asahi Denka factories and three group company factories completed review of ISO9001:2000 and continued improvements.

○

*zero emission：Asahi Denka defines zero emission as “making the ratio of final landfill less than 1% of the waste disposal by commissioned subcontractors,” and is working towards its achievement. This definition is based on the idea “to achieve zero emission in the society as a whole by reusing and recycling waste generated in one industrial sector in another industrial sector,” promoted by the United Nations University.

*PRTR or Pollutant Release and Transfer Register： A system that gathers, sums up, and announces data on how much toxic chemical substances are released from where, and/ or that carried outside of the factory.

*Green Procurement：Prioritizes purchase of environmentally sound products and services. Asahi Denka Group practices green procurement of printing services. Our CSR Report is also printed with soy ink and uses more than 30% FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper.

*SOx：Sulfur Oxides are generated when burning fossil fuels. It accounts for acid rain and asthma. SOx changes into H₂SO₄ in the air and this is one of the causes of acid rain　

*NOx：Nitrogen Oxides include NO and NO₂ that are generated through high temperature combustion. NO₂ is harmful for human respiratory system when concentrated. NOx contributes to photochemical smog and acid rain.　

*COD：Chemical Oxygen Demand is the amount of oxygen necessary for oxidizer to decompose organic components of waste in water.

*BOD：Biochemical Oxygen Demand is the amount of oxygen necessary for bacteria to decompose organic components of waste in water.
