“Yokohama City Action Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures”

As our approach in reducing greenhouse gases, we are promoting activities with the emission control goal to reduce the greenhouse gases in intensity in 2021, by 3.0% from the 2018 level, pursuant to the energy consumption saving goal of 1% per annum by the Energy Conservation Act, calculating the discharge volume of manufactured numbers per thousand units or sheets according to the characteristics of each factory.
