Environmental Preservation

Environmental Policy

We do our best to improve the environment by continuing current preservation efforts, maintaining a firm belief that a sound environment should be passed on to future generations.

  • We recognize our responsibilities to society to reduce environmental impact and prevent pollution. We comply with relevant laws and regulations.
  • We promote initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption at all our plants.
  • We encourage efforts to conserve, reuse and recycle resources and to reduce waste. We also promote the purchase of ecologically friendly products.
  • We have obtained ISO 14000 certification (Senboku Factory and Ako Factory) and operate an environmental management system.

Constructing an Environmental Management System

Both the Senboku and Ako factories have obtained ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems.

  • Senboku Factory, February 2009: JCQA-E-0857
  • Ako Factory, August 2008: JCQA-E-0838

CO2 Reductions and Energy Conservation (Based on Units of Output, 2014 figures compared with those of 2009)

Due to an increase in production volume and revisions in items produced, CO2 emissions per output unit rose slightly, although energy consumption decreased by approximately 11% on the same basis.
