Environmental Initiatives

Kojundo Chemical Laboratory, with the motto "the source of technological innovation lies in high-purity materials," challenges high-purification technologies for a wide range of materials including various forms of organic and inorganic materials, alloys, ceramics, and liquid sources. At the same time, we deeply recognize that addressing global environmental conservation as a company-wide effort is our most important priority in all business activities including research, development, manufacturing, and services, and we will implement the following activities to the extent technically and economically feasible.

1. We always consider the environmental impact arising from our business activities and strive to continuously reduce environmental burden.
2. We thoroughly ensure proper handling for the safe management of chemical substances.
3. For effective utilization of resources, we promote energy conservation, water saving, and recycling activities while working to reduce waste.
4. We comply with applicable legal requirements and other requirements to which we subscribe regarding environmental aspects, and strive to prevent environmental pollution.
5. To promote environmental conservation activities, we set environmental objectives and targets, periodically review them, revise as necessary, and strive for continuous improvement of the Environmental Management System.
6. We thoroughly communicate this policy to all people working for and on behalf of our company through internal newsletters and other means, raise environmental awareness, and engage in environmental conservation with full participation.

At our company, with top management as the highest authority and the Environmental Management Representative as the supervising officer, all employees promote the Environmental Management System and environmental burden reduction activities. We hold environmental meetings monthly to confirm and monitor the status of initiatives.

For new employees and mid-career hires, we conduct annual training sessions on the management of hazardous materials, toxic and deleterious substances, etc. We educate employees to understand the importance of environmental management before engaging in practical work.
