First time on non-profit’s prestigious lists to recognize high social
responsibility
Mitsubishi
Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today that CDP, a global
disclosure system for companies and governments to manage their
environmental impacts, has given Mitsubishi Electric its highest rank,
the A List, in two categories, water and climate. The CDP Water 2016 A
List honor recognizes Mitsubishi Electric as the world’s only company in
the Industrials category, making outstanding contributions to water
resource cultivation. Only 24 of 1,252 global candidates were selected
and the selected Japanese companies will be officially announced during
the Japan Water Style Summit with CDP’s Japan Water Forum 2016, in Tokyo
on December 5. Mitsubishi Electric was also named to the CDP Climate
2016 A List for its excellent results in helping to reduce CO2 emissions
and mitigate climate change. This is Mitsubishi Electric’s first
selection to either list.

Mitsubishi Electric’s recent water-management initiatives to help
preserve the natural environment include:
At every production site, managed and reduced the amounts of water
withdrawn and discharged, and raised water-recycling rates.
Shared its environmental management systems with suppliers to mitigate
disasters, such as floods or droughts, and reduced the risks of
procurement shortages in emergencies by working with multiple
suppliers for virtually every item used in these systems.
Continuously developed and supplied products and services for water
purification, such as the Ozonizer system, which generates ozone to
sterilize water instead of chlorine, and processing plants for
freshwater and sewage.
