FCL Components Group Announces 25+ Years of Environmental Achievements
August 7, 2024 | FCL ComponentsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
FCL Components Limited and its group companies mark 25+ years of working to protect the environment with significant accomplishments and commitments, according to its newly released FY2024 Environmental Report. The company met or exceeded all of its FY2023 environmental protection goals.
As a manufacturer of electronic components and modules such as relays, input/output devices, wireless modules, and sensors, FCL Components contributes to environmental responsibility in two ways: contributing to society and reducing the environmental impact of its business activities.
This includes:
- Working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electricity consumption, water usage, and industrial waste during manufacturing processes together with our business partners.
- Making eco-friendly product development improvements, such as reducing the power consumption for our FBR53-LE relay by 28% reduction through renewal of its driving mechanism, and a 48% reduction in resource consumption for our FWM8BLZ14 wireless module, achieved through reducing its height and mounting space.
- Fostering harmony with the local communities where we operate, with projects including eradicating invasive plant species.
- Promoting circular economy initiatives, including a repair service at Nagano FCL Components to extend long-term product use.
FCL Components’ environmental activities span a broad range of areas, from global warming prevention activities, to green procurement, to improving supply chain transparency.
Looking ahead, the FCL recently committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, to be achieved through traditional energy-saving efforts as well as plans to introduce renewable energy sources and utilize non-fossil energy certificates.

01/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s a great time to be a PCB designer. The job is more complex than ever, but it's also a lot of fun.

There has been a move toward working remotely, driven partly by the COVID pandemic and partly by reality: Many experienced designers simply will not relocate, even for a more lucrative job.
