Environmental Impact : FY2006
Olympus monitors environmental burdens resulting from all processes relating to our business activities, including resource procurement, manufacturing, distribution, waste disposal and recycling, and we are striving to mitigate those burdens. Although increased production volumes led to higher overall CO2 emissions in the manufacturing and distribution stages in FY2006, CO2 emissions per unit of sales were reduced through efficiency improvements. Olympus also worked to reduce waste by recovering and using valuable resources.
Environmental Impact of Business Activities
*1: Discharge (total) = Discharge (waste) means landfill waste as well as recycled waste and does not include waste recycled into valuable resources. Values in this section contain those of waste discharged from logistics sites.
*2: Waste emitted for landfill disposal as a prerequisite. Such waste undergoes volume reduction, such as incineration, and some of the residues are sent to landfills.
