Management of Chemical Substances
We recognize that it is our important responsibility to properly manage the chemical substances we use in our business activities in order to protect the global environment and the health of the people living in it.
In addition to complying with laws and regulations, we will also establish voluntary management standards and promote initiatives to minimize the environmental impact and risks posed by chemical substances.
Chemical Substance Management System
We have established an organized management system to ensure the proper management of chemical substances.
This will prevent environmental impacts and health risks and promote sustainable business activities.
Efforts to Prevent Air and Water Pollution
We comply with all environmental regulations and agreements set forth by national and local governments.
In addition, each business site has established its own management standards, which are stricter than those required by law.
Product Safety Management
In order to contribute to the safety and security of society, we implement strict safety management for all products we deliver to customers.
As a chemical manufacturer, we regard it as particularly important to have a deep understanding of the characteristics of the chemical substances we use and to minimize risks to the environment and human health in all processes, from manufacturing to product delivery.
Ensuring compliance with laws and regulations
We promptly and reliably comply with various domestic and international laws and regulations.
- Compliance with the RoHS Directive: We are committed to developing products that do not use specified hazardous substances and that comply with the European RoHS Directive and the various other regulations of each country.
- Compliance with the PRTR Act: We accurately monitor the amount of chemical substances released and transferred as stipulated by the PRTR Act, and properly report this information to management specialists and the national and local governments.
Providing information using chemSHERPA
We utilize common schemes such as chemSHERPA to provide transparent information on the chemical substances contained in our products so that customers can use our products with peace of mind.
- Supply chain management: We ensure product safety throughout the supply chain by accurately grasping information on the chemical substances contained in products starting from the raw material procurement stage.
- Prompt provision of information: We have a system in place to promptly and accurately provide information on controlled substances, such as those regulated by the RoHS Directive and REACH, in response to customer inquiries.
Conducting risk assessments
We continuously conduct risk assessments throughout the product life cycle.
- Product development phase: When introducing new chemical substances or raw materials, we evaluate their impact on the environment and human health in advance and prioritize the use of safer substances.
- Manufacturing stage: We strive to prevent accidents by assessing risks in the manufacturing process and taking appropriate safety measures.
Through these efforts, we will continue to provide highly reliable products and contribute to the realization of a safe and sustainable society.
