Mitsubishi Electric has had a tradition of reducing CO2 emissions with advanced technology and highly energy-efficient products and is extending this commitment into the future in its Environmental Initiative 2021. Here, the company commits itself to long-term climate protection with the goal of achieving a 30% global reduction in CO2 emissions by the year 2021. By this it means CO2 emissions in both production and product use. In addition, we are aiming for improvements in environmentally friendly energy generation, such as with hypermodern solar power plants, as well as for the complete exclusion of non-recyclable materials from production. But that, of course, is not all, because we shall also continue to devote ourselves to the development of further innovative products, e.g. inverter air conditioning systems or Zubadan heat pumps – for the sake of the environment.

Specifically, this means for us:

1. It's about balance. The balance between effective use of resources, efficient use of energy, and safeguards against potentially harmful substances. It's an immense challenge, but one that Mitsubishi Electric is actively pursuing on a daily basis, with stated objectives, and a specific goal in focus. That goal is a global society where lifestyles can continually improve in harmonious coexistence with the natural environment.

2. We are committed to understanding environmental problems and contributing to a universal awareness of the need for businesses to integrate their activities with the natural cycles of nature.

3. We will educate, train and motivate employees to be good environmental stewards in their own right as well as support employees when they engage in activities that promote environmental protection.
