Mitsubishi Electric Turkey President Şevket Saraçoğlu, who made statements within the scope of the Energy Saving Week, which aims to increase public awareness for the efficient use of energy, drew attention to the importance of using the available resources in the world in the most effective and efficient way and conveyed the following information;

"The world's available resources are becoming scarcer. For this reason, energy use, especially in industry, needs to be reduced without causing a decrease in production and production standards. As Mitsubishi Electric, we provide significant energy savings in enterprises and projects with our energy efficient, environmentalist, user-friendly and long-lasting automation solutions in Turkey. With our Energy Control Package application, we collect live data from all points where energy is consumed in enterprises and enable a healthy and easy analysis. We combine hardware, software and documentation for high levels of energy management. With our digital factory concept e-F@ctory, which is Mitsubishi Electric's answer to Industry 4.0, we provide factories with much faster, more efficient and environmentally friendly production. In the field of residential, office and industrial air conditioning systems; We offer a wide range of products equipped with artificial intelligence technologies, reaching the A+++ energy class and providing maximum energy savings with an environmentally friendly approach until the end of the system life. Our air conditioners, which are produced in the home air conditioner factory established by Mitsubishi Electric in Manisa with the digital factory concept e-F@ctory infrastructure and presented to the Turkish and European markets, stand out with their environmentally friendly features and design. With our technology invented by Mitsubishi Electric and determined the elevator speed according to the load in the cabin, which is only available in our brand's elevators, we provide high energy savings and reduce carbon dioxide emissions."

40 thousand cubic meters less water consumption

Stating that Mitsubishi Electric prioritizes global production sites where water risk measures are most needed by using WRI Aqueduct, the water risk assessment tool developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI), Saraçoğlu said that as a result, total water consumption was reduced by 40 thousand cubic meters. Stating that the brand contributes to the improvement of the cumulative water recycling rate thanks to some measures such as the reuse of treated wastewater in cooling systems, Saraçoğlu said, "Mitsubishi Electric succeeds in entering the A list, which is the highest ranking in climate and water categories by CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) with its efforts to combat climate change and protect water resources."

"We aim to increase the level of eco-consciousness"

Stating that Mitsubishi Electric, which shapes all its activities in line with its goal of becoming a "global and leading environmentally friendly" company, works to increase the eco-awareness level of both its own employees and the society within the framework of its global environmental mission "Eco Changes", Saraçoğlu continued his words as follows; "Mitsubishi Electric has set important environmental targets by 2021, its 100th anniversary. In this context; we aim to contribute to the creation of a society based on low carbon and recycling, to operate in harmony with nature and to strengthen the group's activities in environmental management."

Reduced carbon emissions from products and production

Saraçoğlu, who made statements in line with the results of Mitsubishi Electric's Environmental Report for the 2019 Japanese fiscal year (1 April 2018 - 31 March 2019), conveyed the following information; "In line with our 2021 targets, Mitsubishi Electric aims to reduce CO2 emissions from product use by 30 percent compared to fiscal year 2001 and CO2 emissions from production by 30 percent compared to fiscal year 1991. At this point, our 2019 Environmental Report reveals that important steps have been taken towards achieving our goals. In the reporting year, totalCO2 emissions from production were reduced to 1.3 million tons, also below the target of 1.43 million tons, thanks to measures such as the use of high-efficiency equipment and the revision of operations. Energy-related CO2 emissions, which are expected to increase by 60 thousand tons due to increased production during the year, increased by only 30 thousand tons as a result of the use of energy-saving equipment that provides high efficiency as well as new measures taken for the disposal of waste in production facilities. While non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions were realized at the level of 180 thousand tons, the transition to refrigerants with low global warming potential and other operations contributed greatly to falling below the 250 thousand ton target. CO2 emissions from products used in the market were reduced by 36 percent. While the contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions from product use was targeted to be 70 million tons, the actual contribution volume was 77 million tons. This powerful performance; as a result of increasing energy efficiency in devices such as power devices, air conditioners and water heating systems."
