Eco-Communication Initiatives

Renesas is actively engaged in environmental education, awareness-raising activities, and information disclosure as part of its eco-communication activities.

Basic Environmental Education

As part of our environmental education, we have divided our education system into general education and specialized education. For general education, we provide education on basic environmental knowledge necessary to all Japanese employees through measures such as e-learning. On the other hand, specialized education is conducted with specialized content that focuses on the education of environmental knowledge necessary for work, as well as education on the ISO14001, provided with the goal to understand the mechanisms and train internal auditors.

Empowering Employees for Environmental Action

As part of our efforts to enhance environmental awareness among employees, Renesas implements a wide range of educational programs and internal communication initiatives at its manufacturing sites in both Japan and overseas. These initiatives are designed to deepen employees’ understanding of environmental issues and foster a culture of sustainability within the company.

To encourage environmentally conscious behavior in daily workplace activities, some sites have adopted highly biodegradable paper cups in vending machines, while others have taken steps to eliminate the use of plastic products in onsite cafeterias.

Furthermore, in regions facing significant water-related risks, Renesas promotes locally tailored awareness activities. These include tree planting and water conservation campaigns aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of local environmental challenges and promoting sustainable water use.
