Orion Implements Energy-Saving Measures Across All Affiliates... Introduces Five-Day Vehicle Rotation System
Mandatory Lights-Off During Lunch Breaks and After Work
Reducing the Use of Single-Use Plastic Products
Orion is implementing company-wide energy-saving measures in line with the government's energy conservation policy.
Orion announced on March 26 that starting from March 27, it will enforce its energy-saving policy for all employees across its domestic affiliates. The company explained that the decision comes in response to recent increases in international oil prices and growing electricity costs, which require a corporate-level response.
This policy focuses on reducing energy consumption in vehicle usage, office spaces, and employees' daily routines. First, Orion will introduce a 'five-day vehicle rotation system' for employee vehicles, excluding those required for essential tasks such as sales and production, to limit unnecessary driving. By assigning specific days for vehicle use, Orion aims to minimize non-essential travel.
In office spaces, it will be mandatory to turn off lights during lunch breaks and after working hours, and employees will be required to shut down PCs outside of work hours to eliminate standby power. The company also recommends minimizing the use of elevators and heating/cooling systems.
Efforts to reduce energy use will also extend to employees' daily lives. Orion will encourage reducing the use of single-use plastic products and paying attention to indoor insulation management. Employees will also be encouraged to use public transportation for commuting.
