Abstract:
To reduce the environmental load of products, Mitsubishi Electric has done the following: (1) developed technology for assessing products, and introduced it to the company's environmental management system, (2) developed a Factor X indicator for comprehensively quantifying and improving the environmental performance of products, and (3) ranked products based on Factor X as an evaluation indicator ("Eco-Products" or "Hyper Eco-Products"). This has led to the completion of basic measures for products, and a focus on a new phase called "Environmental Vision 2021."
