Basic Environmental Policy
The sustainability of the Earth environment is essential to the continuation of our business. We strive to reduce the negative impact on the environment brought about by our business activities, because we recognize that it constitutes a great risk to our business.
In 2001, we established the Basic Policy on Environmental Conservation and formulated the Environmental Action Plan aiming to improve our environmental management system and minimize the environmental impact.
In 2018, we revised the Environmental Action Plan to meet the current needs of society. We have established targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and waste products that will contribute to the environment. We have also partially revised the Basic Policy on Environmental Conservation.

Environmental Management System
We have established the Supreme Safety & Environmental Meeting as a place to deliberate and determine the most important matters related to safety and the environment.
Guidelines and action plans determined at the Meeting are spread to each site by the Environmental and Safety Supervisory Manager (General manager of the Environmental and Safety Dept.) under the direction of the Chief Environmental and Safety Officer. Each site that operates under ISO14001 has a chief person that serves as the person responsible for managing environmental safety, and who makes sure that the required actions are being reliably executed.
