4 early reporters to Japan Seiko Epson Group carry out environmental protection and innovation related to the content of an interview, in the low-flying aircraft about to land at the airport in Nagoya, Japan moment, under the wing of the high-rise buildings and cross the road, so that reporters give birth to the feelings of many: Technology As the development of a double-edged sword, the sustainable development of mankind in the great changes at the same time, also resulted in huge energy consumption and environmental pollution. Very much hope that, through an interview with reporters Epson, which has a 60-year history of the development of one of the world’s top 500 enterprises, found it from the high-tech enterprises to promote innovation in the development process, how to reduce energy consumption and environmental protection to promote the solution.
to create the same Reduction and the need to
wisdom is almost all Japanese people who have been to give the evaluation: Although the land area and the relative scarcity of resources, but the entire country in an orderly and clean and sophisticated, environmental protection very well. Perhaps it is precisely because of their scarce resources, perhaps because in a seismic zone, the more a sense of crisis so that early on Japan on resources and environment have a strong sense of protection. At present, the Japanese have a good system of environmental protection, in almost all areas set up a re-use regulations, including packaging container recycling law, re-use household electrical appliance law, construction law recycling, food recycling law, domestic use of excreta France, automobile recycling law, the effective use of resources to promote law and so on.
in Japan, promote environmental protection in enterprises play an important role, especially in the vanguard of business. Seiko Epson since 1995 to set up the drum cartridge Flour recovery and recycling systems, and now all of Epson products are specialized agencies of the recovery and reuse, in addition to the establishment in 2002 of the computer because the Japanese recovery is related to Built by law, the range of other products in the field of recycling is Epson’s own behavior. Epson today in Japan, there are 8 specialized products for waste recovery and recycling plant, in addition to Epson Kambayashi firms operating on their own, the rest of the plant is commissioned outsourcing, taking into account the various parts of the collection and disposal of convenience, Re-processing factories all over Japan in the East and West, North and South, Central and other areas, these factories is currently recycling and reprocessing-related waste Epson products, the company’s other products do not take the time being.
reporter who interviewed a number of high-tech companies, but for the first time to visit the company’s high-tech recycling plant, to create a feeling in the world and the need to restore one of the world are innovative and intelligent. Epson Kambayashi firm in the workshop, the reporter saw general printers, ink cartridges and other related products, recycling of used electronic information, go through the classification, demolition, compression, crushing, melting, degradation and so on a very tedious process, often to achieve 80% The recovery, the latter needs more work and technical processing, circulation can be many times more than 98% of e-waste recycling items, therefore, recycling of renewable raw materials compared with the higher cost of materials. Kambayashi & Environment Division governing long-wu Ichikawa told reporters that at present their firms in the Epson Group is a deficit of institutions, the other 7 out of the factory, Epson is a need for them to pay the high cost, so Recycling industry in Japan is the industry to make money. In China, Epson (China) Co., Ltd. Brand Strategy Manager, said Tang, who is on the way out through the Epson product recovery and recycling.
smart to do a good corporate citizen, perhaps because
recycling of renewable materials from the market than the procurement of new materials to high-cost, most of the high-tech companies are reluctant in their own R & D, production, sales, service system And then add a link to deal with renewable sources, increasing costs and the use of IT products after the end of IT has become more garbage, not only to eliminate the manufacturing, which is almost the world’s high-tech enterprises. But in Japan, consumers in the purchase of new refrigerators, television sets, washing machines and household appliances such as air conditioning, at the same time the need to pay fees to deal with waste, the use of post-consumer waste electrical appliances need to be sent to the relevant enterprises to initiate a recall. The Japanese government law: business-generated waste materials, enterprises must carry out recycling, consumer goods generated by the need to pay the cost of recovery, businesses and consumers have to bear the responsibility for the environment. This from the individual enterprises to be able to form a benign ecological environmental protection chain. China is more and more attention to environmental protection and recycling will certainly become a trend in corporate recovery of the circulatory system, must also become a new industry, and added to the IT ecosystem.
enterprises to fulfill the responsibility of environmental protection can better ensure that the operating balance, I saw them in the Epson fine with the operation of a pragmatic side. The Japanese government is also in the relevant provisions, in order to promote the harmonious development of society, each of the enterprise employment of people with disabilities shall not be less than the ratio 1.8%. According to Epson CRS Minister Ono, Epson’s employment rate of people with disabilities over the 2.01%. Reporters visited several factories Epson, careful observation of the lake factories, mainly people with disabilities to engage in the work of most of the focus on the re-use IC chip, the glasses-chip processing components and then use a variety of precision instruments and cleaning the assembly re-use And so on. These waste materials will be discarded if caused by environmental pollution is also a waste of resources, but also the need to deal with these wastes a large number of manual, Epson factory in such a selection of more people with disabilities, they are more skills training, On the one hand, people with disabilities to provide job opportunities, on the other hand they need a lot of manual work is needed to Epson.
Mr. Ono told reporters made a very fair, now we buy stocks, not just look at the business operating income and operating conditions, the same is to look at is not a good corporate citizen, if a good corporate citizen responsibility and participation in social, Ethics, not a positive investment environment, investors will think that this is not a trustworthy business, there is great risk in the stock market. Enterprises are the mainstay of national development, environmental protection, also in the main body of the Chinese enterprises should also be quicker to release more energy to environmental protection.
the courage to reform their own fate
Epson is a precision watch started, but today only to watch business as a whole accounted for only a revenue of 5%, Epson now most of the revenue from print, Projection, the semiconductor industry and other related information in the field. And the transformation of the original Epson, Epson and quartz in the form of patents in the field, because Epson is found in the table quartz micro-voltage technologies have other applications in space and rely on mechanical pressure can be controlled within the nozzle Drop formation and thus the invention of micro-voltage Epson ink-jet printing technology, today made the print arena with hot air bubbles in addition to ink-jet printing technology, more and better choices, but also the evolution of the semiconductor and Epson Crystal And other business devices. Epson can be said that every business is derived from its core patents, essentially based on its patented technology, and to have other people to bypass the patent must have been the leader in the field of innovation, and for this reason that Before the formation of the enterprise particularly concerned about the challenges of innovation and corporate culture.
to allow reporters a deeper feeling is that for a print as the main business enterprises, with a print paper, printing enterprises are closely linked, they invested a large amount of funds team and the conduct of electronic paper development, including the now-rigid electronic Paper and the future of flexible electronic paper, according to Epson executive director of the quasi-group study revealed that well, it would take two years or so, Epson’s flexible electronic paper will be able to come out. If you know these technologies to achieve large-scale, it means that people no longer need large-scale printing. Epson’s sense of crisis makes sense, the prospective study that well, environmental protection and paperless is the future trend, if not Epson leather own life, it means opportunity for others to reform the Epson life So seize the high ground in the field of technology in the future is a priority.
today in the final analysis, competition among enterprises is a competition of intellectual property rights, who have more intellectual property rights, intellectual property rights of those who can bring the most value out of the release, who is the winner of the market. In fact, all business activities, including research and development, so product, so the market has done so on, if we look at the phenomenon by its nature is actually IP (intellectual property) creation and release of the IP, and the success of any enterprise This is the best to use both. The Epson in the world have 130,000 employees operating income more than 52,200,000,000 yen of the company which is a typical representative of the world’s major regions and markets, Epson every year the number of registered patents are among the best, in 2006 AG Health in the United States patent application No. 13, ranked No. 3 in Japan, China ranked first in the 8-bit. Epson interview with reporters on intellectual property rights, Minister Yu Liu Ya, he projector to display on the wall to see the reporter, is a crowded market with the global changes in the well-adapted to the system of intellectual property strategy, including the IP creation, IP protection, IP’s Union, management and so on, but also of great concern to the reporters against the backdrop of economic globalization, transnational and cross-industry, cross-technology innovation and collaboration in the field of intellectual property rights, as well as how to define how to operate, and so on.
