DENSO will attempt to halve automotive CO2 emissions by developing new technologies and products to improve fuel efficiency and use various fuels in vehicles.
Moreover, at its factories, DENSO will implement Energy Just-in-Time (JIT) activities and logistic control to respond to fluctuations in production, thereby cutting its energy consumption and reducing CO2 emissions by half.

Clean x 2

To gain the confidence of all stakeholders, DENSO will continuously strive to improve ways to halve the impacts of environmentally hazardous substances that it uses and its industrial emissions and waste. DENSO will also contribute to improving air quality in the regions where it operates by developing technology to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, as well as decrease waste and water usage at its factories and throughout its logistics chain. Moreover, DENSO will provide its employees with a wider range of environmental learning programs to encourage them to become more aware of the global environment and take action to help create a sustainable society.

Green x 2

Realize a society with sharing nature's wisdom and benefit in order to take over rich natural environment to the next generation through cooperate activity aiming at symbiosis with nature.

To pass on a rich natural environment to future generations, DENSO will promote green environmental businesses, such as biofuel research and agricultural support, and enhance factory greening to conduct business in harmony with nature. In each of its operating regions and companies, DENSO will implement social action programs and hold events under the theme of the environment to encourage its employees to raise their environmental awareness and engage in environmental activities. Furthermore, DENSO will help build environmentally friendly communities.
