In order to achieve the vision and goals drawn up, the Environment, Health and Safety Department of each business division plays a central role in implementing environmental conservation activities, while the Corporate Environmental Strategy Department promotes and supports the activities.Environmental Impact of Our Business Activities (Material Flow)As the Nitto Group uses large amounts of chemical substances in our business activities, we have concerns about our environmental impact. For example, organic solvent vaporizes in the production of adhesive tapes, so we render it harmless. However, some solvent gases escape into the atmosphere, though the amount is innitesimal. In addition to chemical substances, we use a lot of energy, materials and water. In order to use those resources as efciently as possible, we improve production processes and replace old facilities.It is of concern to us that the CO2, waste and efuent that is ultimately generated by our production processes may have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, we conduct voluntary management more strictly than standards requested by laws and ordinances of each country where we operate.
