As a member of the Japan Responsible Care Council (currently the RC Committee of the Japan Chemical Industry Association), the 바카라emical Group has established a Management Policies Concerning Responsible Care (RC) and conducts RC activities. We are also engaged in environmental management efforts in line with an Environmental Action Plan that includes priority actions and targets.
≫Management Policies Concerning Responsible Care (RC)
Policy
The policy adds “We will strive for perfection in safety and harmony with the environment, which is the first required mission in society" to our Company Mission and “We shall proactively take initiatives to conserve the environment and prevent accidents and disasters as crucial requirements for the sustainability and activity of our business" to our.
We are also taking concrete actions in line with our CSR Guidelines, which call for reducing environmental impact, contributing to the environment and improving living conditions as a focus of product development, 바카라onducting sustainable purchasing.
Management System
*Horizontally scrollable
The Responsible Care Dept. of the Responsible Care Division oversees all environmental protection activities, while the Products Evaluation Dept. is in charge of chemical and product safety activities and certain logistics safety activities.
We had used the environmental management system (ISO14001) as a tool for RC activities promotion. However, as the company has internally established a system to build a management system according to ISO requirements and continuously promote improvements, we have determined that we can operate the system sufficiently on our own, and we relinquished ISO14001 certification for all of our domestic business sites in 바카라20.
For our overseas business sites, we will continue to maintain ISO14001 certification. In addition, our quality management system (ISO9001) has been certified both in Japan and overseas (San Chemical Co., Ltd. will also relinquish its ISO9001 certification in 바카라20).
We will also continue our RC (safety, health, environment, and security) audits of domestic factories and research laboratories, which are conducted during annual site visits.

Environment, safety, and accident prevention investment
To conserve the environment and ensure safety, we continue to invest in environmental measures as well as in safety and disaster prevention, including industrial accident prevention, earthquake countermeasures, and 3Ds (Dirty, Dangerous, and Demanding jobs) improvements.
In 바카라23, environmental investment totaled 250 million yen and safety/accident prevention investment was 720 million yen.

JEPIX* environmental efficiency indicator
We significantly improved environmental efficiency compared to 바카라05 by reducing atmospheric emissions through measures taken in 바카라05 to address ethylene oxide emissions, and in 바카라12 to address propylene oxide emissions.
In 바카라23, we further improved environmental efficiency from the previous fiscal year by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and hazardous air pollutants.
Environmental efficiency (JEPIX) (domestic sites)
Calculated using the JEPIX Simplified Calculation Sheet Ver. 2.0, which is available at JEPIX website (http://www.jepix.org)
- Japan Environmental Policy Priorities Index
Environmental performance is evaluated by multiplying the load values of GHGs and hazardous air pollutants by a weighting coefficient indicating the degree of impact of each, and finally quantifying it as a single index called an Environmental Impact Point (EIP).
Environmental efficiency is EIP divided by value added. The smaller the total environmental impact, the better, and the greater the environmental efficiency.
