Her current position commenced in April 2013. 3 Promote CSR aligned to management strategy Our commitment reflected in the statement, "Our Technologies, Your Tomorrow" Matsumoto The world today is characterized by rapid market globalization and increased international competition due to the growing economies of emerging nations. Amidst these changes in the business environment, even greater importance is placed on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Could you tell us about MHI's basic approach to CSR? Miyanaga Our business is integrally linked with various social and industrial infrastructures, such as energy and environmental products, environmentally friendly aircraft and rail transit. I believe MHI's greatest social responsibility is to help solve global social issues and create a sustainable society through the diverse range of products and services we offer. At MHI, we uphold our corporate identity statement, "Our Technologies, Your Tomorrow." This statement expresses our commitment to become a trusted global business that values the global environment and contributes to the realization of a sustainable society. I think MHI's approach to CSR is also summarized in this statement. Matsumoto "Our Technologies, Your Tomorrow" -- this is a great phrase that captures profound meaning in just four words. Miyanaga In considering a sustainable society, it's important that we protect and maintain the valued aspects of our society in an ever-changing environment. Our corporate identity statement is our declaration to tackle this task through technology. But this is becoming increasingly more challenging over time. In today's world, economies and societies are advancing impressively, not only in developed countries but also in newly developing countries as well, and technologies have continued to evolve. Meanwhile, the world population has rapidly increased, which will very likely lead to all manners of discord and strife, including environmental issues and ethnic conflicts. Under such circumstances, we must balance economic development and environmental conservation, and it will be crucial that we respect the varying thoughts and opinions around the world in order to realize a sustainable society. Matsumoto Indeed, in addition to

    May 18, 2018 World’s First Mass Production of Difficult-to-Form Automotive Body Structural Parts Using Super High Formability 980MPa Ultra High Tensile Steel - Contributing to Reduction in Body Weight of Nissan’s New Crossover - Company name: Unipres Corporation Representative: Masanobu Yoshizawa, President and Representative Director Securities code: 5949 (Tokyo Stock Exchange, First Section) Contact: Yoshio Ito, Executive Vice President Tel. +81-45-470-8755 Website: https://www.unipres.co.jp/ UNIPRES CORPORATION (Head Office: Yokohama, Kanagawa Pref., Japan; President: Masanobu Yoshizawa; hereinafter “UNIPRES”) has succeeded in the world’s first mass production of difficult-to-form car body structural parts using super high formability 980MPa (megapascal) ultra high tensile strength steel(hereinafter SHF 980MPa steel) and began supplying parts for Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.’s luxury mid-size Crossover launched in the North American market in 2018. Across the automobile industry in recent years, while weight saving of car body has been advanced due to growing demand for reductions in CO2 emissions (improving fuel efficiency) in light of preserving the global environment, higher car body strength is also desired for greater occupant protection in the event of a collision. As a result, automobile manufacturers have accelerated the use of ultra high tensile strength steel that enhances weight saving and collision safety through thickness reduction and greater strength of materials. The SHF 980MPa steel that is used for those parts ordered by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., this time, is a new material developed by Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, and is applied to front side members, rear side members, and other under-body structural parts that are difficult to form.

Abstract The aging highway bridge infrastructure in the United States must be continuously renewed while accom- modating traffic flow, so new bridge systems are needed that allow components to be fabricated offsite and moved into place quickly. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study in Japan and Europe to identify prefabricated bridge elements and systems that minimize traffic dis- ruption, improve work zone safety, and lower life-cycle costs.

  • Economic and Energy Outlook Towards FY2014 —Japan’S Economy Gets Back on Track and Energy Demand Starts to Increase—
    IEEJ: August 2013. All rights reserved. IEEJ Special Seminar 7th August 2013 Economic and Energy Outlook towards FY2014 —Japan’s economy gets back on track and energy demand starts to increase— YANAGISAWA Akira, T. Yoshioka, H. Suzuki, Choi J. W., R. Ikarii, S. Iwata, Y. Shibata, K. Ito The Energy Data and Modelling Center The Institute of Energy Economics, Japan Summary of topics 1. Rigorous and well staffed safety checks lead to big impacts from nuclear restart p.16 The ability of the Nuclear Regulation Authority to complete its safety assessments will significantly influence the timing of nuclear reactors’ restart. If the Authority forms three teams and if each assessment requires six months, conditional on reception from the nuclear host communities, six reactors at most and 16 reactors will restart by the end of FY2013 and FY2014, respectively. They will operate for seven months in FY2014 on average, generating 73 TWh of electricity (Mid–level Case). In the Mid–level Case, electricity generated from nuclear power in FY2014 will remain a quarter of the FY2010 level, increasing the power generation cost by JPY3.2/kWh from the FY2010 level. Total import value of fossil fuels will increase by JPY7 trillion ($70 billion) and the CO2 emissions from fuel combustion will increase by 70 Mt–CO2 (+6.2%). If the safety assessments take twice as long (i.e. one year rather than six months), only six reactors at most will restart by the end of FY2014 (Low–level Case). On the other hand, if the Authority increases the number of teams, 28 reactors will operate for seven months on average in FY2014 (High–level Case).
