AISIN’s consolidated environmental activities
AISIN places “coexistence between society and nature” at the heart of its corporate principles.
In order to put this ideal into practice, in February 2006 we drew up our “Fourth Environmental Action Plan,” a five-year plan aimed at tackling environmental issues. We are currently tackling five priority issues (see below) including expansion of environmental management.
In April 2008 we drew up the “Aisin Consolidated Environment Policy,” an action plan aimed at getting 149 companies in Japan and overseas consolidated environmental management system to work together on environmental conservation activities, thereby unifying the orientation of our environmental efforts.
AISIN’s consolidated environmental activities are centered on the Aisin Consolidated Environment Committee, consisting of officers in charge of environmental matters at major companies and the committee’s subordinate organizations: the Energy Savings Working Group, the Environmental Conservation Working Group and the EMS Working Group. The EMS Working Group promotes the following three activities in connection with environmental management systems (EMS).
- Publishing consolidated environmental manuals specifying common groupwide requirements and keeping employees informed on such requirements
- Compiling consolidated EMS training manuals summarizing EMS expertise and cultivating key people in environmental matters at each company
- Creating consolidated EMS assessment sheets for self-checking and carrying out mutual assessments*

The issues identified in the mutual assessments administered in fiscal 2009 were shared at the Aisin Consolidated Environment Committee and will be reflected in the eco-certification system to be introduced in fiscal 2010.
* In a mutual assessment, a Group company is assessed by a team consisting of one assessor selected from each of five other Group companies.
Establishing the Aisin Chinese Consolidated Environment Committee
Environmental issues in China are worsening with the rapid growth of its economy. With 17 Group companies in China, AISIN responded to this situation by establishing the Aisin Chinese Consolidated Environment Committee in April 2009 to invigorate environmental conservation activities.
Going forward, the committee aims to substantially mitigate environmental impact by promoting environmental conservation activities at each base of operations, verifying full compliance with legal statutes, sharing information with the management at each base and improving the skills of employees in charge of environmental issues by holding workshops.
