Sustainability
Biodiversity Conservation
The Group benefits from ecosystem services provided by natural capital and biodiversity such as through the use of water resources and materials. On the other hand, the Group imposes a burden on ecosystems such as through the discharge of chemical substances and waste.
As a result, the Group ensures the utmost consideration to biodiversity and the protection of the ecological system and works to ensure the safe operations at each site.
Specifically, we are working to eliminate the usage of Class I and II Specified Chemical Substances and Monitoring Substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law, and reduce the usage of chemical substances designated as Class I under the Pollutant Release and Transfer Resister (PRTR) Law. Additionally, we comply with the Air Pollution Control Act, Water Pollution Control Act, Industrial Safety and Health Act, and other laws, and take into consideration the effects on people and ecosystems in developing, manufacturing, and marketing our products. We also work on maintaining the green areas around our factories.
