Basic approach to the environment

Basic concept

The NAGASE Group believes that the sustainability of the global environment is a prerequisite for realizing a safe, secure, and warm society where people can live comfortably, and our company follows this belief. In recent years, there has been growing concern about global warming due to increased greenhouse gases. There is growing interest in the impact of anthropogenic factors on climate change.

At the same time, to protect the irreplaceable global environment as members of society, we will work on environmental issues from the perspective of becoming a green company and contributing to the reduction of the environmental burden of society as a whole through the development and manufacture of green technologies and products.
