Basic approach
The Noritake Group is working together as one to promote environmental protection activities with the aim of realizing a “sustainable society.” We actively work to reduce the environmental impacts and risks arising from our business activities, while also managing our business in a way that balances reducing environmental impacts with generating profits, striving for co-prosperity with our stakeholders.
Noritake Group Environmental Policies
The Noritake Group, as a company that manufactures products based on its founding spirit of “Good Quality, Export and Co-prosperity,” positions the preservation of the global environment as an important management issue, and is contributing to the achievement of a “sustainable society” through its business activities.
- ① We will strive to develop and provide environmentally-friendly products and services.
- ② We will endeavor to reduce environmental burden in all processes of our business activities. In particular, we will strive to achieve the goals set for the reduction of CO2 generation, resource saving, waste reduction, and recycling, and to manage hazardous substances appropriately.
- ③ We will build Environmental Management System from a global perspective and strive to reduce environmental burdens continually.
- ④ We will comply with environmental laws, regulations, and other requirements.
- ⑤ We will disclose information about our environmental activities and enhance our communication activities with stakeholders.
Disseminating information inside and outside the company
In order to promote the reduction of environmental impacts throughout the company, it is important for each person, from management to new employees, to correctly recognize environmental issues and to raise awareness. Therefore, in addition to providing environmental education by qualification, we regularly disseminate information on environmental activities through our in-house newsletter. We also provide specialized education for personnel who require specialized knowledge such as laws and regulations.
Meanwhile, in order for as many people as possible to understand the Noritake Group’s approach to the environment, we disseminate information in this report and on our website.
