Environmental accounting is a management tool that helps to determine the costs and benefits of a company's environmental activities. At TEL we have introduced an environmental accounting system to determine quantitatively the costs of the environmental aspects of our business, and we are using this information to guide corporate activities. Fiscal 2001 is the third year since the introduction of the environmental accounting system, and we have made greater efforts this year to improve the accuracy of information about investments and environmental activity expenses, as compared to fiscal 1999 (a trial year) and fiscal 2000 (when we worked to expand the range of data collected). Our aim for future years is to make our environmental activities sustainable. The costs of environmental preservation (investments and expenses) for fiscal 2001 can be seen in the table below. Data was collected for TEL facilities in Japan. Depreciation on investments in facilities is calculated as an expense beginning with the investments made in fiscal 1999. In the environmental accounting for fiscal 2000, the \"upstream/downstream costs\" primarily covered office facilities, and only a portion of products were covered under research and development costs. As a result, a complete assessment was not possible during that year. For fiscal 2001 however, we attempted to include all facilities in Japan in the calculations, as well as all environmental costs and cost categories. As a result of this more comprehensive approach, the research and development costs calculated for fiscal 2001 grew considerably, to 1.985 billion yen.","PeriodicalId":217292,"journal":{"name":"The Urban Rail Development Handbook","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125799416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
