1. Recognizing the relationship between our corporate activities (manufacturing of lamp bulbs for various types of lighting and quartz products for physical and chemical glass and semiconductors) and environmental impact, we will make efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our products and services through technological innovation.
We will set environmental objectives and targets to the extent technically and economically feasible, and place emphasis on the following items, making them known to all employees. We will strive to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities by continuously improving our environmental management system, and to prevent pollution by appropriately treating and discharging wastewater from wastewater treatment facilities and oil-water separation wastewater, taking biodiversity into consideration.
(1) Quantify environmental improvements
View environmental improvement as a part of business improvement and check the results by quantifying them.
(2) Effective use of resources used
As part of our efforts to use resources sustainably, we treat raw materials used in our products, propane gas, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, carefully as natural resources, and as part of our efforts to mitigate climate change and adapt to climate change, we strive to reduce electricity consumption, improve the efficiency of resource and energy use, and reduce C02 emissions.
(3) Reduction of waste generated
Reduce the waste rate by promoting yield reduction and effective use of materials in the manufacturing process, and recycle waste generated in the manufacturing process as recyclable resources.
