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.

In January 2017, Tianjin Kuo Cheng Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. was certified as a water-conserving company by the People's Government of Tianjin Municipality as a result of its reinforced efforts to conserve water. The report of the company that surveyed its water usage gave Tianjin Kuo Cheng Rubber Industry a score of more than 90 points for a number of achievements, including having a water recycling rate above 93%, operating within the limits of water use plans prepared every three months, not exceeding its water use of the previous year when compared to production, and introducing water-saving models for all of its equipment.
Knowing that it must face recertification each year, Tianjin Kuo Cheng Rubber Industry aims to maintain its rating by persisting with its water-conservation efforts.
