Overview

Leadership in an Integrated Environment and Energy Business

ORIX entered the environment and energy field by taking a stake in a wind power generation business in 1995. We subsequently expanded our energy business using our skills in leasing and consulting, and our environmental business by properly disposing of leased items at the end of their useful life. We now conduct business in a wide range of energy markets both in Japan and overseas, such as renewable energy power generation, electric power retail, and energy-saving services, while growing environment businesses such as recycling and waste treatment.
