4 Action Plan for Measures to Prevent Global Warming by the Industrial Sector Target: To reduce CO 2 emissions from the industrial sectors in 2010 to levels below that of 1990 (Industrial Sector: the participating 34 industries under Nippon Keidanren) Source: The Keidanren Voluntary Action Plan on the Environment On business-as-usual basis : - 8.4% CO 2 compared to 1990

5 To define the Voluntary Action Plan per unit output Over 25% reduction of CO 2 emissions per unit output in 2010 compared to 1990 (Electronics Sector: Japan Electronics & Information Technology Industries Association, Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association, Communication Industry Association of Japan, Business Machine and Information System Industries Association) Source: The Voluntary Action Plan by Electronics Sector Action Plan for Measures to Prevent Global Warming by the Electronics industry

15 PRTR System Businesses are obligated to report the government annually on the release and the transfer of pollutants (345 chemical substances are designated).

16 Urban Soil Pollution Control Measures  “Urban" (non-agricultural) soil pollution cases increased mainly due to urban redevelopment.  The chemical and electroplating industries are major causes for soil pollutions. Primal soil contaminants are lead, hexavalent chromium, and trichloroethylene.  In August 1991 Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for soil pollution was established to deal with soil problem issues. The EQS currently regulates 25 substances after some additions made in  In November 1994, the “Guidelines for Investigation and Countermeasures for Soil and Groundwater Pollution” was established.  Administrative guidance is provided to industries to promote voluntary clean up of polluted soil.

20 Environmental Issues For Products - Control of the hazardous chemical substances -Design of environmentally conscious products -Design for energy conserving products  Top Runner Program

21 Green Procurement(1/2)  Meet the Hazardous Chemical Substances Regulations  RoHS (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment)  Conduct the chemical substances survey  Manufacturers must survey the chemical substances contained in the parts and materials to meet the Green Procurement standards.

22 Green Procurement(2/2)  Standardization of chemical substance surveys  Standardization will improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the surveys while reducing the burden placed on the suppliers involved in the green procurement surveys.  Establishment of the JGPSSI (Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative)  To develop the guidelines of standardized green procurement survey, JGPSSI was established by the business voluntary group in JEITA was engaged in the secretariat functions since February 2002
