• Realizing a Low-Carbon Society
The Casio Group provides products and
services that further contribute to reducing
and absorbing CO2. In addition to expanding
our lineup of products and services that use
energy sources that are easy on people and
the planet, such as solar, wind, and water-
powered energy, we are also utilizing these
renewable energy sources in our business
activities.
• Realizing a Resource Recycling Society
The Casio Group’s goal is to efficiently use,
replace, and reuse the earth’s precious
resources, such as various materials and
water. Therefore, we have been further
improving resource productivity.
• Realizing a Way of Living in Harmony
with Nature

cultivate a mindset that treasures the earth
and protects biodiversity. We are working to
harmonize our business activities with the
earth’s natural cycle.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Activities

conduct environmental activities that are all

technologies to help realize:

Green Star Product Concept
In order to minimize the environmental
impact of its products, Casio is promoting
the development of environmentally friendly
products in every aspect of planning and
design. In 1993, Casio began product
assessment in order to systematize and
promote its development of eco products.
New products had to undergo a preliminary
assessment for their environmental impact
and meet certain criteria in order to be
certified as Casio Green Products. Prior to
fiscal 2008, Casio worked towards an initial
Green Product sales target of 80% of total
sales, and in that year the company
achieved 84%. The company continues to
promote a target of 80%.
