Management Policies

Environmental Initiatives

A rich environment and various economic activities are essential to realization of our wholesome lifestyles. This is why we need to achieve sustainable economic development in which preservation of the Earth’s environment and economic activities coexist. Using resources effectively and implementing waste material reduction, reuse, and recycling to promote creation of a recycling-based society are indispensable in efforts undertaken to appropriately respond to global environmental issues such as environmental pollution and depletion of various resources. We recognize environmental problems as important issues for management. We seek to balance economic reasonableness and contributions to the preservation of the Earth’s environment in all our corporate activities.
