As well as ensuring detailed and constant exchange of information with the administrative authorities, clients, local communities, suppliers and employees, we engage in efficient operational activities on the basis of mutual collaboration with individual consolidated companies and in linkage with our original business activities.
3. By introducing appropriate management resources we aim to promote technical innovation, to improve our facilities and equipment, to improve our educational and training facilities, and to enhance awareness.
4. We promote the development of earth-friendly new products and technologies that take account of the life cycles and manufacturing activities with consideration to environmental issues.
5. As well as complying with international standards and observing the laws and agreements, etc. stipulated by individual countries, we institute our own autonomous standards and are striving to prevent pollution.
6. We are attempting to cut down on the use of resources and energy, to procure materials that impose the lowest possible burden on the environment, and to expand our activities aimed at introducing greater efficiency into the distribution process and reusing materials in the context of efforts to minimize the use and scrapping of materials.
7. We are striving to promote activities aimed at conservation of nature and the environment on a global basis.

We ensure that individual employees worldwide are fully aware of this policy. As well as challenging the achievement of ambitious targets, we do all we can to bring this policy into the public arena.
