Environmental Management

Basic Approach

Disasters, food problems, and ecosystem changes caused by climate change have had a serious impact on nations around the world in recent years. As a company aiming to be a leader in environmental technologies, we will contribute to the fight against global climate change and fulfill our corporate social responsibility to help build a sustainable, recycling-based society.
In order to make our environmental efforts more efficient and systematic, we have been ISO 14001 certified since 1999 to ensure continuous improvement of our environmental performance and compliance with laws and regulations. We also endorse international initiatives and strive for transparent and appropriate disclosure of environmental information through the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project).
Since 2023, we have participated in the GX League led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and have been working with other leading companies and related organizations to solve environmental issues.
Through these efforts, we will take firm steps toward building a sustainable future, fulfill our responsibilities as a company, and contribute to environmental protection and the creation of a sustainable society on a global scale.

Three Pillars of Activities

We have been steadily implementing “defensive (risk response)” measures such as greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, waste reduction, coexistence with nature, and environmental management. We have also been creating “aggressive (growth opportunities)” measures such as the use of clean energy to reduce environmental impact and the creation of new businesses represented by hydrogen/electric mobility products.
In order to respond to the recent rapid changes in the external environment and to achieve greater efficiency in our efforts, we have restructured our existing framework of “defensive” and “aggressive” initiatives and positioned “carbon neutrality,” “circular economy,” and “nature positivity” as the three pillars of our environmental management. Based on these three pillars, we aim to build a sustainable society through close cooperation not only among ourselves but also among our partners throughout the value chain.
