Basic Concept
The T&D Life Group has formulated the T&D Life Group Environmental Policy to clarify the Group's stance on the environment. The Group has announced its basic policy to carry out business activities with full awareness of the importance of environmental concerns and giving sufficient consideration to global environmental protection. The Group has ensured to disseminate the policy to corporate officers and employees while promoting various activities to reduce its environmental impact. In addition, based on this policy, the Group has established Green Purchasing Standards and Rules which give priority to purchasing environment-friendly products and services such as purchasing office furniture, equipment and consumable supplies essential for business activities, printing of product pamphlets, policy terms and conditions and procurement of real estate facilities and system equipment.
Initiatives for Reducing Environmental Impact Based on Group-wide Targets
We have set Group-wide targets related to environmental protection, and are working to achieve these targets in the course of our daily business activities. The Group's three targets are to reduce electric power use, reduce office paper use and improve the green purchasing ratio. In regard to our target for reducing office paper use, we achieved our five-year target from fiscal 2009, and are working to achieve a new five-year target from fiscal 2014.
