1. YASKAWA ECO VISION
We are promoting environmental management in order to pass on the bounty of the earth’s blessings to the next generation.
Together with its stakeholders, the Yaskawa Group aims to create a society that is sustainable.
It plans to make contributions for the environment by reducing the burdens that result from its manufacturing activities (its green process) at a greater rate than it has to date, and by reducing the burden on the ecosystem with its products (green products) leveraging its technology to enhance the environmental performance.

(Reference) What is IEC 62474?
IEC 62474 is an international standard which establishes basic items and methods for sharing information of chemical substances contained in products of the electro technical industry across a supply chain.
The standard also specifies how to exchange information and data of chemical substances which may be contained in electric and electronic devices.
There are schemes compliant with this standard as follows:Japan : chemSHERPAEU : BOMcheckUSA : IPC 1752A
