Environmental Performance

Lifecycle Environmental Impact

In order to create a recycling-based society and reduce environmental risk, Mitsubishi Electric tracks overall environmental impact throughout product lifecycles and uses this information in devising effective measures and activities.

Product Design for the Environment

We develop products that pursue both functionality and environmental compatibility.

Recycling End-of-Life Products

In compliance with the Home Appliance Recycling Law and the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources, Mitsubishi Electric promotes the end-of-life recycling of four types of home appliances as well as personal computers. We are also devoting resources to the development of new recycling technologies.

Green Procurement

Mitsubishi Electric carries out green procurement in compliance with environmental regulations. We intend to continue to work to reduce environmental impact down the supply chain.

Preventing Global Warming

We will continue to work to meet reduction targets for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and contribute to the fight against global warming.

Managing Chemical Substances

Mitsubishi Electric continues to reduce the discharge of harmful chemical substances and emission of greenhouse gases through self controls that utilize our proprietary chemical substance management system.


Managing Wastes

With a view to realizing a recycling-based society, Mitsubishi Electric works to make effective use of resources to the full extent possible, strengthen controls at the level of waste generation, and reduce, reuse or recycle waste that is generated.

Eco-Logistics and Reduced Packaging

We are actively working to reduce the environmental impact of logistics through distribution reforms in the form of modal shifts from trucks to rail, and the elimination of the use of wood in packaging materials.
