Company-wide environmental performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018

Targets for 8 goals of Environment Policy: 14 of 16 achieved

The NTN Group in Japan set and worked on targets aligned with the eight aims of the NTN Environment Policy during the fiscal year under review. We achieved 14 of our 16 set targets a result of our efforts.
Next year, we will work on preventing global warming by setting a CO₂ emissions target of 666,000 metric tons per year (less than 296,000 metric tons of Japan emissions and 370,000 metric tons of overseas emissions per year).
