We have set "Contribution to the technology with attention to environment and people" as our group philosophy. We have aimed at making our group activities and environmental management coexist with each other. Until 2005, our environmental activities focused on pollution control and observance of laws and regulations. With the inception of ISO14001, we began working on establishing an environmental management system and on acquiring certification at all production sites.

From the viewpoint of global warming prevention, we acknowledge energy conservation as one of the most important issue to be dealt with, and we are participating in energy conservation activities in every means such as optimization of energy use from material to final products. Furthermore, to ensure our products meet the severe chemical substance regulation in and outside the country or customer's requirements about chemical substances contained in the products, we have implemented management system for controlling chemical substances contained in the products.
