■ First of all
Taking a look at how we deal with the environmental issues in our social
circumstance, problem
of global warming growing in to seriously. The country and the industrial community need to
work cooperatively to consult on the rapid countermeasure. We also have
to settle many problems.
Tor example, food, water, energy, biotic diversity, and acid rain, etc… Thinking by the angle of “
Sustainable Development of Mankind”, we need to think global warming
as one of the various
problems which we have encountered. It may be misjudge the essence by
closing up only to global
warming.
And yet, accelerated pace of global warming advance is undeniable truth.
The countermeasure of
this problem can not be waited.
Advanced countries are needed to reach the numerical target for greenhouse
gas reduction which
has determined in Kyoto within 5 years.
Target of Japan is 6% carbon dioxide reduction by comparing with the
standard in 1990. In fact,
it is far from the target in 2006 since the greenhouse gas increased 6.4%. However, we must
defeat the present stage and overcome the difficulty to make the numerical
target become true. We
have to take our responsibilities as an advanced country.
The summit conference which held on Italy, July 2009, 8 countries from
developed countries
assumed and agreed to reduce 80% of emission of greenhouse effect gases
by 2050. However,
the benchmark year of reduction has not decided yet.
Combining with these situations, the active conduct of business which
considered the environment
came to be requested further. Needless to say, reducing industrial wastes and recycle activities are
necessary. Developing the product that has less influence on the environment,
at the same time,
through our ordinary business, working on decreasing the environmental load are one of our social
duties that companies have to carry out. It is impossible to solve the
global issue which is the
environmental preservation by an individual, a company or a country separately.
Therefore, it is
essential which each of us recognize the environmental issues deeply
on each situation. What is
more, it appears that we surely take actions after thinking seriously what we should do and can do
for it. We also hope that our individual actions would influence by companies
to family and by
family to neighborhood.
■ The Enviroment Chater
The Environment Philosophy
We recognize keeping the earth environment would be the contribution
toward the world prosperity
and people’s happiness. We also strive toward economic growth and the balance of the
environment in our every production activities. Moreover, we take actions
for the realization of the
sustainable rotation society.
Basic Principle
1． We endeavor to protect environment by reducing waste product and minimizing
environmental
load in each business activity.
2． We provide the product which have considered about resource saving,
energy conservation,
and recycling in each product’s developing and designing section.
3． We follow the law, the rule and the ordinance which are related to environment. We move with
our earth by enforcing further environment conservation.
4． We follow the law and the ordinate of atmosphere, water and soil. We enforce for promotion
and protection of grew. Also we keep up the clean earth environment.
5． We establish the self-baseline and always enforce for managing continuous improvement and
maintenance about environmental load.
6． We develop the environment security action and enforce for prevention
of global warming by
business activity. These actions are done through product life cycle by each product’s
development, designing, producing, sale and abolishment.
7． We work on education and enlightenment activity by company-wide to raise the conscious of
environment conservation in each employee.
■ The Environment Purpose
１．To reduce the nature destruction and the influence for the ecosystem, we have set up the strict
office standard and observe it. It exceeds the law, the rule, the international ordinance and the
city regulation.
２．In every step of the active conduct of business, we execute necessary provisions. These are
based on the scientific evaluation and the examination for the environment.
３．In the production activity, we conduct the excellent processing technology
for the resource.
We develop the process technology and manufacture equipment for distinguished
energy
efficiency. What is more, we plan to reduce all the proposals of the
raw material and the
chemical in every process.
４．We improve the consumptive efficiency for electricity and fossil fuel and introduce “The Top
Runner Method” actively. In addition, we perform the radical energy-saving
activity and
promote preventive measures against the global warming.
５．We try to buy productive materials that are excellent in resource-saving
and re-productivity. At
the same time, we establish the recycle system for drainages and complete
the effective use of
recourses. We encourage harmless wastes and fewer wastes, too.
６．We make our effort for research and development. It is for the product
that would contribute to
earth environment. At the same time, we work on popularization and
expansion of its
movement.
７．We advance the tree-planting campaign actively. Moreover, we practice
the environment
maintenance, so that we are abundant in trees and have elegant and
comfortable environment.
■ Development of The Environmental Management System
All COPAL group, including both domestic and oversea companies, exploit
the environmental
management system that standardized of ISO14001 to protect the earth
environment.
The President supervises the propulsion system, and promotion supervisors
will be managers in
each office and factory. They are responsible for the environmental activity
management and
business management. We all encourage the efficient environmental management.
On each branch
and factory, we evolve a specific plans and policies and continue to
work on these issues.
■ The Environment Audit
COPAL audits the appropriate environmental management system. We also
grasp and confirm the
management situation for the environment in each office and factory.
Furthermore, we carry on
our suppliers’ environmental audit in order to confirm the application
management. To control the
environmental management materials, we use the environmental management
system.
 
Internal Audit Examination by external examine system
■ The Environmental Education
As an example of the education for different stratum, the new recruits
go through the training
which relates to the environment management. In this way, we in fact
practice it in each office.
For another example of the educational trainings for different profession,
we promote the auditor
education for the internal audit of the environmental management system.
 
Base course for new employee Examination for environmental control
and material control
The total members who have taken in the internal audit educations in
domestic office and factory
are 80 people. We will strongly put our effort on increasing the members
and improvement. |
