Prevention of pollution and effective use of resources

Our basic management policy for the environment is conducting corporate activities with sufficient consideration given to maintaining a healthy global environment and aiming for sustainable development. In addition, we have formulated our environmental policy from the perspectives of compliance with environment-related laws and regulations, attention to the environmental in business activities, etc. We understand that striving to enhance environmental value by reducing environmental load and conserving the environment, including the prevention of pollution, is an important issue for the Company as well. With this mind, we will fulfill our responsibility to prevent pollution by complying with international declarations, conventions and treaties regarding environmental conservation, as well as the laws and regulations of the countries and regions in which we conduct business.

Our environmental policy dictates that we should strive to use resources sustainably and respond to resource depletion by proactively working on a range of measures such as resource conservation, the reduction of the waste generated, reuse and recycling. We will seek to effectively use resources through the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) from the stage of business creation, the replacement of raw materials and other materials with sustainable alternatives, the promotion of the sorting, collection and recycling of used products, and other means.

We have been facilitating initiatives by setting qualitative and quantitative targets regarding pollution and resources.

Targets and results for these initiatives are here
