Environmental Management System
We have established the Kurita Group’s Environmental Improvement Promotion Committee chaired by the Kurita director responsible for environmental improvement activities. This committee discusses and sets the Group’s policies on environmental improvement activities and related issues.
Introduction of Environmental Management Systems
Kurita Water Industries has been fostering the establishment and operation of ISO 14001-certified environmental management systems at its own sites and Group companies as part of its environmental improvement activities.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
In fiscal 2011, we received no administrative punishments for noncompliance with laws, regulations, or ordinances. There was, however, a problem concerning wastewater treatment at a Group company site, and this was reported to the relevant governmental authorities. Measures were implemented to clarify the cause of the problem and prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
