Green
Factory Guidelines
(Japanese and English editions) |
At Sharp, for a factory to earn the title of "Green Factory," it must achieve a high level of environmental consciousness. It must not only reduce the environmental burden associated with its production activities, but also try to ensure complete harmony with nature and the local community. Sharp formulated guidelines defining the basic policies and operational know-how for realizing a Green Factory based on 10 concepts. These guidelines were introduced at all domestic production sites from fiscal 1999 onward and at all overseas production sites from fiscal 2001 onward.
In fiscal 2003, Sharp drew up specific
assessment criteria to evaluate environmental
performance and began assessments for inhouse
certification. Sharp also set new criteria for
the certification of "Super Green Factories,"
which surpass those of Green Factories. Using
these measures, Sharp plans to improve the
environmental performance of all its production
sites, with the goal of upgrading all Sharp
Corporation sites (currently 10 sites) to Super
Green Factories and all other Sharp Group sites
(currently 6 domestic and 22 overseas sites) to
Green Factories by fiscal 2007.
