NSK Environmental Policy
Our commitment to environmental management forms the basis of our existence and our pursuits. We are determined to take independent and assertive actions.
1. Overall goals
To create harmony between people and the Earth by developing environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and technology, such as our tribology friction control technology, using the full efforts of all employees and all divisions within the company.
2. Reduction of Negative Environmental Impact
To establish and continually improve the environmental management system, comply with regulations and reduce environmental impact
3. Contribution to Societies
To be a good global corporate citizen, contributing to the social development of countries and communities where we operate, and also to advance the realization of affluent societies that are in harmony with the environment.
The Role of NSK in Environmental Protection and Social Development
- Minimise energy consumption and energy losses by controlling and facilitating the movement of objects with the minimum of friction
- Maximise the life of customers’ products by producing durable and reliable products
- Develop solution-oriented products tailored to the specific requirements of our customers
NSK’s products reduce energy consumption in all manner of mechanical devices, reducing the world’s energy burden and thus contributing to sustainable development
NSK Initiatives on CO2 emissions
As well as producing products to minimize energy consumption, since 1999, NSK plants are focused on reducing CO2 emissions from their own manufacturing facilities. Having consistently exceeded a year on year target of 1% CO2 reduction per production unit, NSK is now also aiming to reduce absolute CO2 emission levels, independent of production levels.
Our first target is to reduce absolute emissions in fiscal year 2012 below those of 2006. This will be achieved through investment in advanced environmentally friendly facilities and through determined efforts to eliminate waste.
