Environmental Performance Indices
The HORIBA Group provides for society a wide range of analytical and measurement analyzers as well as their peripheral equipment which are required for environmental measurement. We are also engaged in the development of eco-friendly products that comply with environmental laws and regulations and consider their life cycles. At the same time, we make consistent efforts to lower the environmental impacts and risks associated with our business activities. Especially we are working on the reduction of energy consumption through the active use of renewable energy and reduction in off-peak-hour standby electricity used by equipment with high power consumption.
