NSK Initiative on CO2 Emissions Reduction

Since 1999, our plants have been focused on reducing CO2 emissions from our own manufacturing facilities as well as producing products to minimise energy consumption. Having consistently exceeded a year-on year target of 1% CO2 reduction per production unit, we are also reducing the absolute CO2 emission levels, independent of production levels. This will be achieved through investment in advanced, environmentally friendly facilities and through a global initiative on waste reduction.

Control of Hazardous Substances

All NSK products comply with relevant legal requirements such as the ELV and RoHS Directives. In addition, NSK has established its own list of prohibited and restricted substances published in NSK's Green Procurement Standard. All key component suppliers are compelled to respect this standard.

Certifications

Within the NSK Group Environmental Policy, it is required that all manufacturing sites obtain ISO14001 certification within 5 years of commencing operation. This policy has been consistently met and at present NSK has 47 manufacturing plants that have achieved ISO14001 certification.

In Europe, all of our manufacturing facilities hold ISO14001, certified by an independent accreditation organisation through regular audits.
