E / Environment
ESG stands for Environmental Social and Governance. It is a general term used to measure the sustainability and ethical, environmental impact of businesses on society. Socially responsible investors make investment decisions using ESG criteria. This section discusses our key approaches to managing its "E" aspects.

Environmental Promotion System
With our governing body at our headquarters, we have acquired ISO14001 certification for multiple global sites. Under the umbrella of our environmental governing body, seven sites in Japan and around the world are promoting environmental activities. Specifically, we have established environmental representatives at each site. These representatives are responsible for promoting environmental improvement activities and maintaining our systems for environmental management at each site, and for working in collaboration vertically and horizontally among the sites while we continue to strengthen governance by operating these sites under a unified policy and common environmental manual.
In addition, by horizontally deploying improvement examples and know-how to other sites, we create synergistic efforts as a group and improve the group’s performance. The environmental management officer of the governing body belongs to the “EM (Environmental Management) Committee” of the Nidec Headquarters, and is working in accordance with the Nidec Group’s environmental activity policy.
