Together in Electric Dreams

Mitsubishi Electric Asia doesn’t just manufactur­e technology products, it ’ s also building a greener and more sustainabl­e future.

While Mitsubishi Electric Asia is a household name in Singapore, with a longstandi­ng reputation for providing quality technology products, what is lesser known is that behind its manufactur­ing processes, it is a company that is also working to build a greener future for the world, thanks to its Eco Changes policy.

Eco Changes is a mission that started with Mitsubishi Electric Asia’s parent company, Mitsubishi Electric Corporatio­n, to promote respect for biodiversi­ty and the environmen­t, as well as sustainabi­lity efforts such as recycling. It has two overarchin­g goals: to sell products and services that contribute to the environmen­t and to society, and to hone its efficient manufactur­ing techniques that their overall environmen­tal impact is minimised.

An example of an efficient product with such benefits is Mitsubishi Electric’s latest Starmex FN Wall Mounted air-conditioni­ng series. Those units boast a Dual Barrier coating on the inner surface to prevent dust and dirt from adhering to the air-conditione­r, while a microparti­cle fi lter fences out up to 99 per cent of harmful PM2.5 particles. An Easy Clean feature improves operating efficiency and energy savings by up to 45 per cent. Deservedly, Mitsubishi Electric has earned the honour of having the widest range of air-conditione­rs in Singapore with the full 5 Ticks Excellent Energy Efficiency rating from the National Environmen­t Agency.

Besides producing energy-efficient goods, Mitsubishi Electric also encourages its employees to participat­e in corporate social responsibi­lity initiative­s. Its global efforts range from an awardwinni­ng children’s education programme in the UK on energy conservati­on, to wide-scale tree planting exercises around the world. In Singapore, community-focused activities such as beach cleaning and participat­ion in the Government’s environmen­tal initiative­s take place regularly.

Through action and education, Mitsubishi Electric continues its efforts to change the global environmen­t for the better.
