Eco-challenge Project
What is the Eco-Challenge?
As part of our environmental protection activities, we will review the working environment, including temperature, operating hours, and quality, and look for optimal management.
Purpose
- Improvement of awareness of on-site improvement in manufacturing areas, etc.
- Development of on-site-led improvement activities
- Development of field improvement leaders
Target
(1) Reduction of energy consumption
(2) Finding opportunities for on-site improvement (improving work efficiency)
Current challenge
・Basic seminar on energy conservation
・Lighting cut-off and lighting off when not needed
・Cleaning machine openings, windows, heat insulation of exhaust ducts, etc.
・To shield windows from heat and light
・Cover the outdoor unit with a snuff
・Adjusting the temperature required when using air conditioners and the comfort temperature of workers
・Response to air leaks from compressors

By posting a bulletin where an electric switch is present or where the machine is visible,
Electricity conservation awareness is gradually increasing, and there is less forgetting to turn off electricity.

The temperature at the window before applying the air packing is 42℃,
After application, the temperature was reduced by -4°C at 38°C.
Photovoltaic Power Generation
Since March 2013, we have installed photovoltaic power generation facilities to create environmentally friendly clean energy.
[Outline of photovoltaic power generation facilities]
Installed at the Kofu Factory of Seki Corporation
Annual power generation: Approx. 120,000 kWh/year
Reduction in CO2 emissions: Approx. 37,800 kg (Annual CO2 absorption of approximately 2,700 cedar trees)
※Annual CO2 absorption per cedar tree averages 14 kg
We will continue to actively promote the use of environment-friendly clean energy sources, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions.
To improve the working environment for our employees, we renovated our cafeterias and toilets.
