Safety & Health Campaigns
Quarterly competitions for slogans and posters on the theme of safety, campaigns focusing on improving safety during commutes and employees’ pledge to safety and compliance to raise further awareness on the importance of safety and safety-related practices.
Joint fire-fighting exercise
with the public and
private sectors
Annual training to better respond to large-scale accidents are held jointly with public institutions or independently.
Win-win Partnership
Win-win partnership programs and collaborative initiatives with regional universities to promote a culture that aims for a win-win through a focus on ESH.

Environmental Initiatives
A sustainable environmental management system operated through various campaigns that encourage promoting energy conservation (e.g. campaigns to install photovoltaic power generators or LED lights), recyling of resources and conservation of local ecosystems through employee participation.
-
Management of the quality of emitted air and discharged waterPollutants are managed to be kept under the legally permitted levels. -
Systematic management of chemical substancesLegal compliance and systematic management of chemical substances are carried out to promote the health and safety of employees. -
Initiatives to reduce wasteInitiatives to increase recycling to minimize incineration or landfilling of waste -
Initiatives to re-use waterR/O concentrated water is recycled and used as a coolant
