Environmental Management System and Implementation Structure

Environmental Audits

To evaluate the operational status of our environmental management system and make continuous improvement, internal auditors with certified qualifications who meet internal criteria regularly conduct ISO internal environmental audits. In addition, to ensure that our environmental management system is constructed and operates in compliance with ISO 14001 standards, audits are conducted yearly by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA), a third-party organization.

Environmental Training

We carry out environmental training and provide assistance for staff to obtain national qualification, for the purpose of human resource development to ensure that the environmental management system functions effectively.
During fiscal year 2020, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, rather than hold internal and external group training, we implemented environmental training with self-learning on computers via e-learning and by participation in online seminars. We also conduct training for the SDGs, and are planning education for all employees including part-time workers going forward.

Response to Environmental Regulations and Occurrence Status of Major Accidents

We carry out regular monitoring and measurements of air and water quality, odors, noise, vibration, and so forth, as well as evaluations based on regulatory management standards and voluntary standards. During fiscal year 2020, we were not fined or sanctioned by regulatory authorities for any legal or regulatory violations.
Going forward, we will continue our environmental monitoring activities and engage in our business activities with an emphasis on compliance to ensure no legal or regulatory violations.
