Material Flow
We assess our environmental impact by tracking all raw materials, energy, and water resources used in our corporate and production capacities ("input"), as well as the total amount of production, emissions, and recycling ("output"). By continuing to integrate improvements to our use of resources, we aspire to transition into more efficient production operations.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
The Sayama and Hamaoka offices are audited for legal compliance by a third-party professional organization. We are working to strengthen compliance by incorporating advice and recommendations from experts and checking for any oversight in compliance with mandatory laws and regulations. Additionally, in an effort to maintain and improve legal compliance, we systematically provide legal knowledge training for each department.
