Casio wins Award of the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and
Industry Director
At the Hachioji R&D Center, we are not only concerned with the design
and construction of energy-saving buildings and other nuts and bolts
solutions, but also in less visible energy-use initiatives, such as promoting
more efficient lighting and air-conditioning.
In recognition of these initiatives, we were granted the Kanto Bureau
of Economy, Trade and Industry Director’s Award in February 2009.
This was part of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s
“Awards for Excellence in Factory Energy Management in 2008.”
Participation in the eco-internship program of the Japanese
Ministry of the Environment
The Company participated for the first time in the eco-internship program of the Ministry of the Environment, holding training classes for
students.
In the program, university students and postgraduates are given a chance to experience for themselves environmental management
activities in the enterprise, with the aim of fostering a new generation of personnel with high environmental awareness.
We aim to deepen students’ understanding of corporate environmental measures, and provide opportunities for them to gain hands-
on experience of environmental issues they will face when they graduate and enter the workforce. We also provide an occasion for them
to consider matters such as what approach society should take to resolve environmental issues.
During the training course period, staff at our environmental department give students the chance to experience environmental load
data collection and analysis and life-cycle assessment evaluation at each office. Participants also studied environmental measures in the
Hachioji R&D Center and the Casio Micronics Ome Factory.
SRI indices
As at the end of June 2009, we had been selected for the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Indexes (DJSI Asia Pacific) and the
Morningstar Japan Socially Responsible Investment Index (MS-SRI).
