The Sustainable Environmental Management Information System is designed to identify and promote the progress of sustainable environmental management. The system utilizes the Environmental Impact Information System to collect and process data on environmental impact and the Environmental Accounting System to collect and process data on environmental costs and effects. The collected data are processed and analyzed to identify the integrated environmental impact of overall operations; draw up environmental action plans; support decision-making in sustainable environmental management; promote environmentally-friendly design; improve activities by each division; process Corporate Environmental Accounting; and disclose information to the public.

Environmental Impact Information System
|
 |
|
|
This system collects and processes data on environmental impact caused by each operational process - including procurement, design, manufacturing, transportation/sales, use, maintenance/services, and collection/recycling - as well as by overall operations.
Besides identifying the environmental impact of overall operations, the system automatically collects environmental data from the operational flow of each process, and such data is used to support PDCA in environmental improvement activities carried out at each process. Efforts are being made to improve the system so that it can be used more easily for data analyses and improvement activities as well as for the expansion of the items and range of collected data and improvement in precision.
In fiscal 2006, we established a system for the automatic judgment of information on environmentally-sensitive substances in major parts as well as for the disclosure of product recycling information including WEEE.
