Material Issue 2:Co-exist in Harmony with the Environment through Innovative Technologies

3.9 We will manage harmful chemical substances and take action against soil and groundwater pollution to reduce the negative impact on consumers' health.

6.3 We will contribute to improving water quality by reducing chemical emissions, recycling water, and ensuring appropriate water treatment.

6.4 We will advance efficient use of water by reducing water consumption and improving the efficiency of water use.

6.6 We will reduce the environmental impact of wastewater to protect water-related ecosystems.

7.2 We will increase the ratio of renewable energy to all the energy we use by introducing facilities such as solar power generation facilities.

7.3 We will strive to improve the energy efficiency of production by replacing equipment with energy-efficient versions, introducing cogeneration systems, and taking other measures.

12.2 We will focus on the development of products made from biomass materials in our efforts to make efficient use of natural resources.

12.4 We will quantify and reduce the environmental impact of our products in their life cycle by using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

12.5 We will reduce waste emissions by promoting the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle).

13.1 We will strive to mitigate climate change by reducing CO₂ emissions with initiatives including the continuation of energy conservation activities, energy conservation investments, and production innovation.

15.1 We will continue to undertake ecosystem surveys of company-owned forests and rivers to check the impact of our business activities on the terrestrial ecosystem and the inland freshwater ecosystem and focus on activities for preserving them.

15.2 We will encourage sustainable forest management using FSC-certified paper, forest absorption credits in carbon-offsetting, and other measures.
