Acquisition of ISO14001 Certification
We, at Kurabo, engage in company-wide environmental management activities and at the same time have organized environmental management systems at each plant to promote the acquisition of the ISO 14001 certification. In this way, we devote ourselves in flexibly responding to the issues concerning environmental load and environmental conservation activities that differ according to the business project.
In addition, Kurabo is recommending certification acquisition to our group companies in Japan and overseas.
Currently, all eight plants of Kurabo and six plants out of its affiliates have obtained the certification. |

Environmental Audit
With an aim to ensure proper environmental management at the business establishments in Japan and overseas of the Kurabo Group, the head office staff conducts environmental audits by visiting each site on regular basis. The audit covers not only checking of observance of the environment related laws but also introduction of recommended management methods, aiming to improve the environmental management level.
Problems pointed out during the audits conducted in FY2010, including minor ones, totaled 42 items in the entire Group. The issues most frequently pointed out were related to wastes including insufficiencies of storage status, subcontract agreement for disposal of wasted materials, and inspection of disposal sites. All these problems were promptly corrected. |
