Environmental Initiatives (Future Activities)

Photovoltaic Power Generator Installed at the Gifu Plant

Imasen installed captive consumption photovoltaic power generation equipment at the Gifu Plant, which is the mother plant for the seat business, and commenced operations in June 2021. We expect 20% to 25% of the electricity used at this plant will be shifted to solar energy, which will contribute to an approximately 3.5% reduction in Company-wide CO2 emissions. Going forward, Imasen will continue to proactively utilize renewable energy to further reduce CO2 emissions from business activities in order to minimize adverse impacts on the global environment.
