NIDEC SANKYO believes that as we enter the 21st century, the social mission of corporations is to protect the earth’s irreplaceable resources. As we have made environmental conservation a management priority, our goal is to achieve coexistence with an environmentally friendly society that supports the global environment. NIDEC SANKYO has acquired ISO 14001 certification, which acts as a tool for environmental conservation, for all of our business locations and is working to expand that coverage to our overseas subsidiaries as a means to becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of our own business activities as well contributing to the reduction of such impact.
We are determined to reduce the materials and energy used in our development processes, and we are also pursuing product design that gives ample consideration to recyclability. Additionally, in order to comply with regulations in every country regarding toxic substances, such as the EU-RoHS Directive, we have introduced “X-ray fluorescence spectrometer ” at all production bases in order to guarantee thorough analysis and testing to detect the presence of toxic substances in our products, thereby providing customers with peace of mind when using our products. We are actively establishing systems to ensure environmental quality such as the installation of an atomic absorption spectrometer and as evidenced by NIDEC SANKYO being certified as “Certified Environmental Measurement Workplace” in February 2008.
