AKEBONO REPORT 2012 Akebono Brake Industry Co. Ltd. 31Results achieved in fiscal 2011 Evaluations Plans for fiscal 2012 and after Related pages? Reduced lead usage 42% as of March 31 2012? Regarding new friction materials for rolling stock the Company has already completely eliminatedlead usageBDevelop lead-free sintered material by March 31 2013 (for conventionaltrain lines and bullet trains)36Introduced an inverter control system for compressors and dust collectors to promote energysaving and reduced CO2 emissions 14% to 63 900t (compared with 74 000t of fiscal 1990)AReduce CO2 emissions more than 7% (compared with fiscal 1990) byMarch 31 2012Moreover reduce CO2 emissions 30% by March 31 2016 (comparedwith fiscal 2009)40 41ISO 14001 certifications were renewed at six locations including Iwatsuki Manufacturing AContinue to firmly root ISO 14001 in operations and steadily renew certifications34Maintained Zero-emissions: eliminated landfill waste A Continue to maintain Zero-emissions: generate no landfill waste 30Broadened energy-saving education: incorporated energy-saving best practices and introduceda simulator at the Environmental Dojo that provides a “real-life” experience of an air leak incidentAImplement follow-up education reflect feedback from trainees in education34Specific energy consumption increased 4% to 0.257 compared with 0.247 in fiscal 2010Formula for calculating specific energy consumption:Crude oil usage volume/10 000 transportation t-kmSpecific energy consumption increased due to a fall in the load-to-truck ratio in the wake ofthe production decrease and electric power shortage following the Great East JapanEarthquake in spite of the following activities: the introduction of new cars conforming tofuel efficiency standards set for fiscal 2015; the further development of eco-driving activities;and the promotion of safety and eco-driving trainingB Reduce specific energy consumption 1% on a year on year basis 43? Conducted a survey of REACH designated substances that is ongoing? Completed a survey of CLP subject materials? Revised Green Purchasing Guidelines to incorporate formats for reporting environmental loadsubstances (IMDS and JAMA sheet; established a submission deadline in the GuidelinesA? Continue to conduct the ongoing survey on SVHCs that are expected tocome under REACH designation? Conduct research into substitute materials that contains less environmentalload substances39? Applied heat pump technology to a part of brake manufacturing process improved energysaving efficiency? Previously wastewater was diluted before being discharged in order to adjust ph level to theprescribed level. A neutralization tank was installed to treat such wastewater and this processhas reduced the requirement for dilution water by 10 000t per year (see picture below)A Further enhancement of energy-saving and resource-saving technologies 41Evaluations: A 100% accomplished / B not accomplishedSpecial Feature Social Repor t Environmental Repor t Economic Repor t Reference MaterialsReduction in Water Usage’96 ’06 ’07 ’08 ’09 ’10 ’11154998577(10 000m3)* Six production sites (Yamagata Fukushima Miharu Tatebayashi Iwatsuki and Sanyo)** Ai-CityChange in Water Resource Usage Volume69 668**657**(FY)050100150200Achieved a 10 000 ton annualreduction in the volume of dilutionwater by treating wastewaterin a neutralization tank (YamagataManufacturing)A neutralization tank isused to treat liquid acidor alkaline waste
