To this end, we have established the following policies for all business activities:

We will pay due attention to preserving the global environment and protecting ecosystems, while striving to conserve energy and other resources in the course of all business activities (including the provision of both products and services),
We will advance the development of products with low environmental impact and of technologies that reduce this impact. We will also pay due attention to the environment, safety and health at all stages of a product's lifecycle, from development to disposal.

Responsible Care

Companies that handle chemicals conduct Responsible Care activities at all stages from product development to product disposal. Throughout a product's lifecycle, these companies implement self-management activities to enact and improve environment-, safety- and health-related measures (environmental protection, anti-disaster safety measures, occupational health and safety, and chemical safety).
