Approach to Environmental Conservation
It is our duty to protect the global environment and pass it on to the next generation.
In 2005, The company established its Environmental Policy, and through its corporate activities, it is working to prevent and continuously improve the pollution of the local and global environment.
In particular, we understand that reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) to prevent global warming is a challenge for society as a whole, and take various steps to reduce the environmental impact of energy conservation, transportation, and other transportation in offices and plants.
In order to achieve these reduction targets, we established the "Basic Guidelines for Company-wide Energy Management" in 2011 and are promoting it company-wide.
In March 2018, we signed the United Nations Global Compact and were registered as a participating company.
We will respond more seriously than ever to the three principles of environmental issues: a precautionary approach to environmental issues, an initiative to environmental responsibility, and the development and dissemination of environmentally friendly technologies, and aim to realize the sustainable development of society through collaboration with domestic and overseas suppliers.
