About Komatsu Ltd.
Amidst the sudden changes in the global economic situation since autumn 2008, Komatsu inevitably experienced a significant correction in its sales and profits for FY2008. Nevertheless the Basic Stance of Management at the Komatsu Group remains squarely focused on enhancing Quality and Reliability and thereby maximizing corporate value. We consider corporate value to be the total sum of trust given to us by society and all stakeholders, and we pursue business operations firmly grounded in that philosophy.

Environmental activities
Even in the challenging management environment we now face, Komatsu places measures to mitigate global warming and initiatives to help build a resource recycling society among our highest management priorities. In our assertive endeavors on both the “offensive (proactive)” and “defensive (observant)” sides, we are proactively reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in all aspects of business operations throughout product lifecycles, from product development to procurement, manufacturing, logistics, sales, and after-sales service, while observantly complying with the laws and regulations enacted in each country and region along with our internal environmental policies and standards set voluntarily. In product development, 30 hybrid hydraulic excavators have been introduced to the Japanese market, with average CO2 emission reductions of some 25% during operations. These vehicles have been so well received in the market that we are confident in beginning a full-scale launch in the Chinese market in FY2009. Whether developing hybrid electric forklift trucks, AC servo presses, wire saws for making silicon wafers for solar cells, or other innovative products, we will maintain our commitment to delivering products with meaningfully lower environmental impact. We are also keen to pursue the utilization of biodiesel fuels for construction equipment and other future-oriented goals.
