JSR strives in concert with all group companies to promote environmental and safety activities. We regularly conduct environment and safety audits on all group companies in Japan and overseas that are involved in production, transportation and construction.
Further, most of our Japanese and overseas Group companies have already acquired ISO 14001 certification, and companies pending accreditation implement proprietary environmental management systems. Group companies are systematically working to establish environmental targets and reduce environmental impact.
