Reduction of Environmental Impact

The À¶¾¨ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ Group provides for society a wide range of analytical and measurement analyzers as well as their peripheral equipment which are required for environmental measurement. We are also engaged in the development of eco-friendly products that comply with environmental laws and regulations and consider their life cycles. At the same time, we make consistent efforts to lower the environmental impacts and risks associated with our business activities. In particular, we are working to conserve energy and reduce CO2 emissions through the active use of renewable energy and the reduction of standby power at night and on holidays for equipment with high power consumption.
