Economic benefits of 1 billion yen generated by spending 5.3 billion yen
In fiscal 2007, OMRON implemented environmental accounting practices at 49 sites in Japan. Environmental investments for that year amounted to approximately 200 million yen, or a decrease of 100 million yen compared to fiscal 2006. Environmental expenses were approximately 5.1 billion yen, or an increase of 800 million yen. As a result, total environmental costs increased 700 million yen from fiscal 2006.
Environmental performance benefits declined from fiscal 2006, because all environmental impact factors such as energy consumption and waste volume rose due to the increase in the number of sites. Economic benefits totaled approximately 1 billion yen, with a 100 million yen increase in the gain from the sale of usable resources compared to fiscal 2006. Cost-saving was also realized by reducing the input volume of raw materials.
