Environmental Accounting
LINTEC uses environmental accounting to ascertain the costs and benefits of environmental protection, and continues to carry out environmental protection activities as effectively as possible. Environmental investments★1 made in fiscal 2022 totaled 852 million yen, while environmental costs★2 incurred for the same year totaled 4,610 million yen. Total investments increased by 86 million yen from fiscal 2021. In fiscal 2022, exhaust gas treatment equipment was introduced at production plants related to release paper for the purpose of preventing air contamination. Total costs increased by 403 million yen from fiscal 2021. This is mainly due to an increase in the number of projects and researchers for the development of environmentally friendly products and an increase in energy conservation costs, such as maintenance and management of internal power generation systems.
- ★1Environmental investments: The amount of investments made during a year for the purpose of environmental conservation.
Since the effect of the investments lasts for several years or longer, the invested amounts are recognized as costs over those years. - ★2Environmental costs: Costs or losses arising from consuming goods and services for the purpose of environmental conservation.
