Shimadzu is implementing its unique environmental management system to realize “Sustainable Earth and Future”.
We will work to reduce the environmental impact throughout the entire supply chain, while aggressively introducing solar power and other renewable energy, and enhancing energy-saving measures by visualizing electricity consumption through smart meters.
We will steadily promote the 3Rs (Reduce, reuse, recycle) and maintain a 99% waste recycling rate at our domestic production sites and laboratories. We will also work with suppliers to effectively collect waste plastics using IoT technology and to strengthen environmental monitoring systems for wastewater and other activities.
In the environmental and new energy fields, we provide products and technologies that solve development issues toward carbon neutrality. Throughout the life cycle of our products, we always strive to save energy, reduce size, and reduce environmental impact.
We will develop a wide range of activities in collaboration with local communities, educational institutions and organizations, including tree planting activities to preserve biodiversity and environmental education classes at schools.
All employees actively participate in various environmental activities as members of Shimadzu Corporation, an environmentally contributing company.
