Pollution Prevention

Initiatives to Reduce the Amount of Chemical Substances Discharged

With regard to hazardous substances contained in products and materials, we comply with legal regulations and promote a ban on the use of applicable chemical substances. Based on our own criteria, we select the major chemical substances handled by the Company that should be controlled. Reference values for control are established for the selected chemical substances, which are monitored at monthly meetings of the Quality and Environmental Management Committee. In addition, a management review takes place every year, in which the status of control is reported and actions for the next fiscal year are set, thereby working to reduce the emission level.

Water Pollution Prevention

In addition to the regular monitoring of factory effluent, we take measures to address water pollution by forming a committee with the companies located near the Sanbongi Factory and communicating with them on a regular basis.
To conserve the water environment around the factory, we strive to prevent water pollution by setting our own standards for strict compliance with the effluent standards in the area around the factory.
We mainly take the following three measures to comply with the effluent standards:

  1. We set our own standards, which are even more stricter.
  2. We ensure automatic, around-the-clock monitoring of the effluent treatment system, and maintain a system to take prompt action if an abnormal value is recorded.
  3. The effluent undergoes analysis by an external institution once every month.

Through the measures described above, we maintain a system which ensures that the factory effluent always meet the effluent standards.
