Environmental Management System
Environmental Management Promotion Meetings
We have established the Environmental Management Promotion Meetings as a cross-organizational function for reducing the environmental impact caused by our business activities through such efforts as the promotion of energy conservation, reduction of total waste emissions, and conversion of waste to resources with value. The Meetings set Group-wide goals, and continue to promote efforts such as monitoring and improvement throughout our business activities.
Environmental Management System
The Group is promoting the acquisition of ISO 14001 certification,
an international standard for environmental management systems
(EMS), and we are working to continuously improve our
environmental protection efforts through operations based on the
standard.
Each of our business sites that has acquired ISO 14001 certification promotes initiatives to address social issues
including energy conservation and waste reduction, and shares
the details of these efforts through the Environmental
Management Promotion Meetings.
