Environmental management system

In order to operate our environmental activities properly, we have acquired ISO 14001 certification for each place of business of production bases and have established an environmental management system.

The Topre Group system


*1: Climate Change Measures Department is in charge of measures to reduce CO₂ emissions.

Environmental management system

Each place of business is continuing to implement environmental activities based on the environmental management system.
We are planning to acquire ISO 14001 certification in succession at bases that have not yet done so by fiscal year 2026.
In addition, we will promote the sequential integration of “environmental management systems” that have acquired certification at each base in Japan.

Environmental Improvement Activities

Compliance with environmental laws and regulations

We identify and comply thoroughly with applicable environmental laws and regulations. In implementing our environmental management systems, we obtain information on laws and regulations and other requirements related to our business activities and products, identify applicable laws and regulations, and communicate them to related divisions.
If laws and regulations are established or revised, if there is a change in the business environment such as the introduction of new equipment due to the launch of new products, or a request from a stakeholder, we review our systems each time.
In addition, we also conduct internal audits on compliance with laws and regulations.

Environmental Risk Management

In order to reduce environmental risks, each division extracts environmental risks related to its business activities once a year. In order to prevent or mitigate environmental accidents and emergencies that may occur, or the environmental impacts that may occur along with accidents or emergencies, we have established procedures and make efforts to train employees and maintain those procedures.

Environmental education

We think that we need to provide all employees with appropriate environmental education in order to operate environmental management systems effectively, and are planning environmental education in each division.
Environmental education is divided into three categories: “self-awareness education” in which all employees learn about the deterioration of the global environment and environmental management systems; “education on environmental impacts and work” for employees who have an impact on environmental performance and compliance obligations; and “qualification education” for employees who do work that requires qualifications.
We work on education planning after considering the details of business, our environmental policy and objectives, and clarifying our environmental education needs.

Environmental audits

We are striving to prevent environmental pollution in our business activities, products and services, and to enable the continuous implementation of environmental conservation activities.
We confirm from an objective standpoint based on internal and external audits whether or not the environmental management plans established in each division conform with the environmental management system and whether environmental management systems are functioning in the operations of each division, and we make continuous environmental improvement while implementing the PDCA cycle.
