Environmental Policy and Environmental Management Structures
To achieve our Corporate Mission, we list environmental management as an item of the Management Policy and describe it as “global environmentally oriented solutions, products and activities.” We state in the Environmental Policy that we “consider that global environment protection is the most important issue,” and through the operation of management systems based on ISO 14001 certification, implement initiatives focused on the PCDA (plan-do-check-act) cycle toward environmental preservation and the reduction of environmental impact.
Environmental Policy
Nissha and its subsidiaries consider that the global environmental protection is the most important issue in our activities of production, development, sales and administration in Japan, and also on our products and services. And we make effort to preserve the global environment by environmentally conscious activities.
1. We actively promote environmental conservation by establishing and continually improving a environmental management system.
2. We comply with applicable legal requirements and agreements and customer requirements related to environmental aspects. And we make efforts in environmental conservation by establishing standards on autonomous environmental management, as long as such efforts are feasible in technological and economic terms.
3. We strive to prevent environmental pollution, with a focus on the following measures for environmental management:
6. We make Environmental Policy available to the general public.

3. We strive to prevent environmental pollution, with a focus on the following measures for environmental management:
(1) We promote zero emission by recycling waste.
(2) We promote the appropriate management of specified chemicals (Target chemical for PRTR etc.), as well as reduction in percentage of these chemicals used in our operations.
(3) We make efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by decreasing the usage rate of electrical and gas energy.
(4) We devise and implement manufacturing methods that impose fewer burdens on the environment.
(5) We develop environmentally friendly products.
(6) We propose products with low environmental loads to customers.

Management Reviews and Systems
We conduct internal environmental audits and hold Environment System Committee each year to ensure that management systems are functioning smoothly. We position the Environment System Committee as management reviews and strive to make continuous improvements using the PDCA cycle.
The Environmental Conservation Committee meets once a month for monitoring and prevention. Environmental Conservation Committee members chosen from throughout the company participate in the meetings, which consist of three parts: dialogue with customers and local communities, global environmental initiatives, and sharing of environmental information. They report on topics such as environmental performance, customer demand, changes in environment-related laws and regulations, and environmental monitoring around production bases, and confirm the status of initiatives.

Energy and Environmental Management Structures/Support for Bases
The Nissha Group as a whole promotes the efficient use of energy. To comply with the Japanese Act on the Rational Use of Energy, in particular, we are making continuous efforts to strengthen the energy management structures of each base and prepare management standards for related equipment. We have worked not only toward energy-related goals but also to build a unified system for communicating a variety of environmental information, and to provide industrial pretreatment facilities and physically fortify the support structures for production bases.
