Environmental Policy - EBARA CORPORATION

Home > CSR > Environmental Policy

In an effort to protect the ambient environment, we are working towards decreasing the burden that our business activities exert on our natural environment and are continually working to eliminate pollution. Through our activities, we are developing technology and products that will contribute to the formation of a recycling-oriented society. Our total solutions^*1 are provided to all our valued customers in the hope of realizing that goal.

*1 Total solutions: Problem solving technology or a scheme designed for resolving a given issue using multiple processes, equipment and material integrally and not from the perspective of individual elemental technologies.

Tackling environmental issues is one of the most important tasks for the EBARA Group. In this Chapter; we set our regulations for environment conservation in our daily activities, contributions to environmental conservation through business activities, and efforts for environmental management.

1. Environmental Conservation Activities in Our Daily Business

In our corporate office and business activities, we will give consideration to co-existence with the local community and strive to prevent environmental contamination and continually improve environmental conservation activities through operation of the environmental management system^*.

(1)	We will observe laws/ordinances related to environmental conservation, agreements, matters of accord with public agencies, principles other than regulations, and self-restraint rules of the Corporation.
(2)	We will endeavor for the curtailment and recycling of waste in our offices and operational facilities, as well as for resources/energy saving.
(3)	With regard to product manufacturing/remodeling plans and new business programs, we will sufficiently assess their effects on the environment from a viewpoint of preventing environment pollution and adopt technological measures for the prevention of contamination.

2. Contribution to Environment Conservation in Business Activities

In an effort to develop technology and products to contribute toward the conservation of the global environment and formation of recycling-based society through business activities, we will propose total solutions to realize such development and provide excellent environmental protection technologies to society. Further, we will strive for the reduction of environmental loads resulting from our products/plants, as well as for resources/energy saving.

3. Efforts for Environmental Management

Realizing that enforcement of environmental conservation activities through appropriate operation of an environment management system is our own responsibility, we will execute such activities within the range of individual employees' own work.

(1)	We will relate the environmental management system to all other management systems within the company and develop corporate management of the type in which consideration is given to environmental conservation.
(2)	To our officers and employees, we will extend environmental education, while providing the society at large with information designed to promote environmental conservation.

In order to steadily execute the afore-mentioned efforts, we will set and review our purposes and objectives.

* Environment management systems: A system to be executed for environmental management in line with fixed procedures, represented by ISO14001.
