Environmental Activities

We have set “Biodiversity conservation” as one of the tasks for the new mid-term environmental goals and continue to hold lecture meetings and training on biodiversity and carry out neighborhood cleanup activities. Currently, we began to prepare for information collection and other initiatives for disclosing information based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).

Each site manages water withdrawal and discharge by setting their standards based on local laws and regulations. The headquarters uses “AQUEDUCT,” a water risk assessment tool of the World Resources Institute (WRI), to understand the local water risks at each site. Since 2020, we have been addressing water risks by including “Reduce water consumption” in the mid-term environmental plan.

We have set forth its autonomous management standard, in which applicable laws and regulations of countries and customers’ requests are reflected, for handling environmentally hazardous substances contained in its products to minimize their impact on the environment. We eliminate any controlled substances from our products via eco-friendly procurement and management of necessary parts and/ or materials purchased. Based on the aforementioned scheme, we have established an optimum management system for the efficient search and collection of information about chemical substances that are contained in parts and materials and precise communication of information necessary in the supply chain.
