OVERVIEW |
Hitachi Metals Group is a high-performance materials supplier for the automotive, electronics, and infrastructure industries. Our goal is to develop Eco-Products that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions of global warming at the time of product manufacture and will reduce the environmental impact at the time of product use. Global warming is a pressing subject and the expansion of Eco-Products is the basis of Hitachi Metals' business strategy to promote sustainable growth. Since fiscal 2003, we have implemented our "Road map for Eco-Products expansion," whose goal is 80% of the sales to be Eco-Products in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2006, this sales ratio reached 69.1%, exceeding the 64% ratio targeted for that fiscal year. The target for fiscal 2008 will also likely be attained.
