Stopping Climate Change

1. The targets of the Medium-Term Environmental Conservation Plan
   (Reduction of CO2 emissions from KUBOTA Group business sites)

A 10% reduction of CO2 emissions per unit of sales from FY2009 level in FY2013
A 10% reduction of CO2 emissions from FY2009 level in FY2013

2. Trends of CO2 emissions and CO2 emissions per unit of sales

In FY2013, CO2 emissions per unit of sales were reduced 5.2% compared to the FY2009 level.However, our target was not achieved on account of an increase in the CO2 emissions coefficient for electricity due to the halt of operations at nuclear power plants in Japan. That said, CO2 emissions per unit of sales at KUBOTA production sites were reduced 31% compared to the FY1991 level.

Working towards a Recycling-based Society

1. The targets of the Medium-Term Environmental Conservation Plan

A 8% reduction of waste discharge per unit of sales from FY2009 level in FY2013
Achievement of zero emissions by 70% of our production sites in FY2013
(Zero emissions: Ratio of landfill disposal is 0.5% or less.)
A 4% reduction of water consumption per unit of sales from FY2009 level in FY2013

2. Trends of waste ,etc. discharge (including valuable resources) and waste discharge per unit of sales

We attained our target for FY2013 by reducing waste discharge per unit of sales 9.6% compared to the FY2009 level, due to the separation of waste, in-house recycling and extraction of valuable resources from waste.



3. Trends in ratio of business sites that have achieved zero emissions, and recycling ratio


4. Trends of total water consumption and consumption per unit of sales

We also achieved our target for water consumption per unit of sales with a reduction of 16.2%, thanks to initiatives to conserve water and reuse wastewater.

Chemical Substances Control

1. The targets of the Medium-Term Environmental Conservation Plan

A 8% reduction of release and transfer of PRTR-designated substances per unit of sales from FY2009 level in FY2013

2. Trends of release and transfer of PRTR-designated substances *1, release and transfer per unit of sales

We achieved our target for FY2013 with a 33.2% reduction in the release and transfer per unit of sales of PRTR-designated substances compared to the FY2009 level.
