Summary of the environmental and social initiatives implemented at the Fujisawa Plant and at Fujisawa Technology Center.
1. Environmental Initiatives
The Fujisawa Plant has the longest history of any of the NSK plants. It manufactures a full range of small to ultra-large bearings, producing both ball and roller bearings. The Fujisawa Technology Development Center engages in the development and design of bearings, precision machinery and parts, and automotive products. Due to the plant's location in a residential area, extensive measures are taken to reduce noise and vibration.
- Initiatives by the Fujisawa Plant for Surrounding Residential Communities
- The Fujisawa Plant places a strong emphasis on fire and disaster prevention, and has formed an in-house disaster prevention team as a special project. The plant also engages in resource conservation and recycling initiatives, manages environmentally harmful substances, and cooperates with other NSK plants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as a measure against global warming.
- Development of Environmentally Friendly Products by the Fujisawa Technology Center
- The Fujisawa Technology Center has been employing NSK Eco-Efficiency Indictors (Neco) since fiscal year 2009 to quantitatively measure the environmental friendliness of products and further the development of eco-friendly products. Read more about Neco in the NSK CSR Report 2009 (p.30-33).
