Environmental Promotion Framework and Initiatives

FANUC recognises that actions for the environment are an important tasks, with the President and CEO designated as the person responsible for the initiatives. Important environmental issues, including climate change, are reported to the Board of Directors for decision-making. Reports on the progress of FANUC's environmental initiatives, and the direct and indirect impacts of the environment on our business activities are collected from environmental managers assigned to the relevant divisions, and reported at the ISO14001 meeting, which is chaired by the Executive Managing Officer and General Manager, Production Division. Important matters are reported to the Board of Directors for decision-making.

Regular reports include the setting of environmental goals in March of each year, as well as a report on environmental management for the previous fiscal year in June.

FANUC has acquired certification for the international standard for environmental management systems ISO 14001 (2015 version). In August 1999, the entire FANUC organization was granted ISO14001 certification, with the registered range being those activities related to FA, ROBOT, and ROBOMACHINE products (including research and development, manufacturing, and sales & service). This not only covers Headquarters (Yamanashi) but also the Tsukuba Factory, Hayato Factory, and each of Hino, Nagoya, Osaka, Hokkaido, Tsukuba and Kyusyu branches and offices. In fiscal 2018, our Mibu Factory was also included.

This environmental management system applies to every FANUC site in Japan, and also to the employees, factories, premises, buildings, facilities, corporate activities and environmental conservation activities related to the products and services offered by FANUC's domestic group companies.
