Transition of Environmental Accounting in 2005
Olympus adopts environmental accounting as the way of obtaining quantitative data on environmental preservation costs and related effects (the economic effects and environmental impact). In FY 2005, the expenditure of both business investment and R&D decreased. We, however, devoted on Green Procurement, responses to laws and regulations like the Pollution Prevention Act as well as environmental communications such as Eco-Products 2005.
