Environmental Management

The Company's policies, targets, and measures for environmental preservation are discussed and decided by the company-wide Environmental Conservation Committee. Each business site in Japan appoints an Environmental Conservation Committee that establishes the policies, targets, and measures for its own office based on the Company's targets and measures, as well as specific issues, and performs environmental conservation activities accordingly.
