Action plan for continuous improvement of environment, safety and health performance
- Set up mid-term and short-term plans in connection with the business activities of business sites
Plan after setting priorities such as analyzing gaps to achieve the mission and conducting HSE risk assessment based on internal and external factors
The action plan includes departmental goals, improvement methods to achieve the goals, and the timeline.
Adjust by reflecting the annual performance evaluation of HSE activities and internal and external management factors

Pursue continuous improvement by operating a system consisting of 9 elements

Environment, safety and health activities that break away from the Reactive response to legal requirements
Avoid conventional Top-Down HSE activities and establish field-based implementation guidelines centered on business sites
Clarify and materialize responsibility for HSE management activities
Environment, safety and health activities, evaluated by external audits and inspection activities of local governments, are now operated to satisfy all local governments, members and local communities.

Conduct performance analysis to prevent unexpected accidents by raising awareness that environment, safety and health accidents are caused by insufficient preventive activities

Water resource management

We are striving to reduce water consumption and improve water quality management through continuous improvement and investment in facilities by complying with relevant regulatory standards. We also inspect waste water whether it meets the legal standards for effluent through a nation’s authorized certificate authority, and detect new water pollutants by analyzing water quality items and manage them by changing licenses and permits.
