Nikon is constantly developing new ways to prevent environmental pollution and ensure a healthier ecosystem. Back in 1998, we introduced the Nikon Basic Policy for Green 
Procurement, a diverse range of activities designed to reduce the environmental impact of our products. Under this policy, we employ materials, parts, and packaging items 
produced with special concern for the environment.
In our Environmental Action Plan for Fiscal 2005, we established the goal of completely eliminating seven harmful substances — hexavalent chrome, lead, cadmium, mercury, 
PBB, PBDE and polyvinyl chloride — from all Nikon consumer products by September 2005.
Nikon is also in full compliance with the EU's July 2006 RoHS (Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive, as 
well as other, newer EU regulations.
We are constantly reducing waste by implementing environmental policies that extend the life of our products and simplify repairs, while minimizing energy consumption 
through more efficient use of power.
At Nikon, we're wholly committed to developing innovative and exciting eco-friendly products for our precious world.

Specifications and equipment are subject to change without any notice or obligation on the part of the manufacturer.
