Environmental management system
Acquisition of ISO 14001 certification
Harima Plant
Residents and customers are becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues, and environmental laws and regulations are being improved and strengthened. We believe that responding to environmental issues is essential to our business activities and responsibility as a business operator. Based on this recognition, the Harima Plant obtained ISO 14001 certification, an international standard for environmental management systems. After an audit by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA), the environmental management system and operation of the Harima Plant has been recognized as complying with the international standard ISO 14001, and it received the certification on October 24, 2003.
Environmental Management Framework
We have established an environmental management framework led by top management (General Manager of Harima Plant), and we continuously operate an environmental management system in accordance with ISO 14001.
Our environmental management activities are carried out based on our Environmental Management Manual, as well as relevant rules and standards, promoting environmental conservation across the entire organization.
When new environmental risks are identified, we conduct an environmental aspects assessment in accordance with the documentation and formats defined in our environmental management system. Based on the evaluation results, we determine the priority of risks and implement appropriate countermeasures through a structured response system.
