Group Environmental impact data (fiscal 2009)
Anritsu quantifies its environmental impact and environmental protection activities in monetary and physical units in order to assess and upgrade the efficiency of these activities. We disclose the results to enable our stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of our environmental actions.
Environmental Impact Data
The environmental impact data of business activities at Anritsu Corp. and Group manufacturing sites in Japan (Atsugi, Tanasawa and Tohoku) is shown in figures below. Percentage changes from fiscal year 2008 are in parentheses.
- Environmental Impact Data：
- In order to more clearly present the relationship between business activities and environmental impact, substances brought into a company from outside are checked and described by name and volume. The substances are shown in a comparative table that also shows the names and volumes of substances emitted from or disposed of by the company, representing their environmental impact.
* We lowered NOx emissions by reducing the number of boilers operated
at the Tohoku Site from 2 to 1.
** We improved water quality and reduced BOD by optimizing operations and a method for adding chemicals to the wastewater at a treatment facility at the Atsugi Site.

Data of Japan
Data of outside of Japan
* The calculation of CO2 emission both Japan and outside of Japan is calculated based on the conversion factor under the Law Concerning the Promotion of the Measures to Cope with Global Warming revised on March 29, 2006. However, CO2 emission volume of using electricity is calculated based on the conversion factor (Fiscal 2008) by the Federation of Electronic Power Companies of Japan.
