Environmental statement
Committed to reducing environmental impact
In December 2007, Hitachi Ltd announced its long term environmental plan called Environmental Vision 2025. Download the press release as a pdf.
Through this plan, the Group is determined to curb CO2 emissions associated with its products by 100 million tons in fiscal year 2025.
Environmental Vision 2025 was a result of two factors. One was recognition of the importance of developing decisive measures for meeting the target, set by the 2007 G8 Summit, of halving greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 2050. The second factor behind this decision was a desire by the Hitachi Group to devise a concrete plan of action to strengthen environmental initiatives on a Group-wide level.
Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions has made a commitment to reducing the average CO2 emissions of its own fleet. The Government has committed to reducing the average CO2 emissions of new cars to 130g/km by 2015. By reducing our fleet's average CO2 emissions by 5% each year, we intend to reach this target by 2014.
