Fighting Global Warming
Energy-Saving Efforts

Electrical Power Saving Efforts

We monitor electric power consumption and room temperatures in real time and control the air conditioning systems and related equipment to ensure the efficient use of energy.
And in order to improve the operating efficiency of air conditioning systems, we have installed energy-saving equipment that supplies water to the outdoor units and boosts the cooling efficiency.

Recycling of Thermal Energy

We utilize the heat generated by production processes to heat the office, thus reducing the amount of energy consumption during the winter.
And the heat-insulating film on the windows improves the thermal insulation of the building, thus increasing the cooling/heating efficiency.

Utilizing Natural Energy

Green Energy

In order to reduce CO2 emissions, which are thought to be one of the main causes of global warming, Alpine began an effort to reduce electric power and other energy consumption, while at the same time introducing clean energy.

Solar photovoltaic panels

Green Electricity

In keeping with our green electricity certificate, we used green electricity generated by a solar power system for holding an event that was attended by some 1,300 employees.
We will continue addressing energy conservation and promoting the use of green electricity.

Reducing CO2 Emissions while Commuting

Reducing CO2 Emissions while Commuting

As many of Alpine's employees commute to work by car, we are conducting a campaign to reduce CO2 emissions from their cars while commuting.
The agenda of this company-wide campaign includes raising their eco-awareness by organizing eco-drive classes, distributing original eco-drive stickers, and assigning a preferential parking area for eco-friendly vehicles.

Green Distribution

We are trying to reduce CO2 emissions in the distribution process by changing the transport routes for products and parts, by improving the load factor and by promoting a campaign aimed at eliminating the practice of idling trucks when they are stopped.
In some areas, we have switched the mode of transport from trucks to trains to reduce the environmental impact.
We have also begun operating shuttle buses for the routes to and from affiliated companies to eliminate the need for employees to drive cars as they previously did. Since shuttle buses carry many employees at one time, they significantly reduce gasoline consumption and exhaust gas emissions.
