activity. On this page, from 3 points of view, prevention of global warming, control of
chemical material, and effective utilization of resource, we are promoting by setting the aims
of correspondence in reduction of environmental load in each business
places and factories
through business activity. Also, Rationalization in Energy Use Law has
revised that
object changed from business places and factories units each to employer
unit each.
■ Work on Air Pollution Prevention and Water Pollution Prevention
Natural environment and ecosystem are effected by discharge of environmental pollute
product from the see, air, and soil. COPAL is organizing decreasing
activity of pollutant
from the past.
We set the base of “Environment Control Base of Each Business Establishment”

Copal contributes to solve the global assignment, reducing 60%〜80% of greenhouse effect
gas compare to 1990, and aiming to reduce 50% of greenhouse effect gas
in global wide by
2050.The greenhouse effect gas which discharge through business activity, is not only CO2
based on energy roots that discharge by usage of electricity and fuel.
There are also CO2
which discharge through greenhouse effect gas and commodity distribution,
not only by
manufacturing process. In each business places, we consult to reduce all over greenhouse
effect gas discharged through business activity by fixing reduction aims.
Sales emission increased due to sales decrease by banking crisis of 2008.
Also from 2008, new domestic company, COPAL YAMADA has joined the COPAL
GROUP
and added to counting object of environmental load material.
