33Nitto Group Report 2017Kameyama Plant’s transition to ISO 14001: 2015The Kameyama Plant was certified for ISO 14001 as a collective entity of multiple business divisions and Group companies that is overseen by the head of the plant. One of the challenges that they faced with when moving to the 2015 version involved how to integrate the requirements of the environmental management system into their business process. To address this challenge, they realigned their organization into one in which the heads of each business division oversee the status of ISO certification, and invited external experts to hold internal training sessions for all management-level employees. These efforts paid off when the Kameyama Plant was certified for the ISO 14001: 2015 in March 2016.Using this as a model, a task force team has been assembled to spread their initiative throughout the Nitto Group.Value Chain ManagementRaw materialsprocurementProductionDevelopment/DesignDisposalProduct supplyInputsOutputsOrganic solvents 1,222 tonCO2 875,037 tonTotal waste 149,310 tonQuantity recycled 102,602 tonEffluent 3,375,609 m3Pollutants (COD) 11 tonQuantity recycled 916,886 tonElectricity purchased 771,482 MWhSteam purchased 23,674 GJDiesel oil / Gas oil purchased 3,851 kLLPG purchased 1,863 tonNatural gas purchased 2,247,685 GJLNG purchased 42,168 tonSolar generation and green power 39,836 MWhOther(gasoline, kerosene, etc.) 24,962 GJ Volume purchased 63,603 tonVolume recycled 17,217 tonOrganic solventsMunicipal supply 3,251,317 m3Produced / Process water 1,267,903 m3Ground water 2,341,225 m3WaterAtmospheric releaseDisposed wasteWater discharged / Fresh surface waterEnergies• Material FlowInternal training held at the Kameyama Plant
