Based on the Environmental Philosophy and Basic Policy, we have established an environmental management system that covers operations in Japan and globally.
Under this system, environmental management supervisors oversee and manage environmental activities at each site, while environmental initiatives are addressed on a cross-site basis through a unified Group-wide framework.
Each site has its own Environmental Secretariat and implements environmental activities tailored to the characteristics of its products and facilities.
In addition, our environmental management system and related processes are subject to audits by external certification bodies to assess conformity, operational status, effectiveness, and validity, and ISO 14001 certification has been obtained for applicable sites.

Our group has acquired ISO 14001 certification at seven sites within Japan and one global site. (Acquisition rate of ISO 14001 certifications at the Group's manufacturing sites: 89%)

By continually addressing environmental issues, we aim to advance both environmental consciousness and resource recycling, and to achieve a balance between business activities and environmental conservation. As a global enterprise, we have set the following key issues and KPIs and are tackling them.

We carry out an annual inspection of the usage status of environment-related substances, check the usage status of chemical substances including VOCs, and the preventive measures against environmental accidents. This allows us to continue our record of accident-free handling of organic solvents.

Each plant carries out drills in line with its specific risk profile, and uses any shortcomings or issues identified as feedback to improve its response to leakage incidents. Repeated drills have worked so far to maintain the high level of responsiveness to leakage incidents.
At the Dexerials Group’s global plants, similar leakage drills are conducted regularly to enhance employee’s responsible capabilities.
