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

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.
