Maxell Group's Environmental Action Plan in FY 2024

Under the concept of integrating contributions to both the environment and business performance, Maxell Group aims to enhance motivation by managing the indicators based on production intensity that reflect the improvement effort. Furthermore, we have submitted the commitment letter towards obtaining the SBT certification for our targets after 2030 to achieve a carbon-free society.
In FY 2024, we could achieve the output intensity of energy usage target. On the other hand, we could not meet the target of the production intensity of waste generation rate due to an irregular disposal of a facility, as well as for the production intensity of the water usage, since we were unable to reduce the fixed usage while overseas output intensity decreased. We will continue our efforts to reduce waste generation and conserve water, working towards further improvement.
In addition, Maxell Group did not have any serious environmental incidents, fines or complaints in FY 2024.
Regarding amount of leaked fluorocarbons, we have conducted both simplified inspections quarterly and a mandatory annual inspection, following the enforthment of "Act on Rational Use and Appropriate Management of Fluorocarbons." Those inspection results showed an annual leakage of 149 tons of fluorocarbons, falling below the level that requires reporting.
