Environmental management promotion system

The Group’s Business Strategy Council sets out environmental policies to achieve the sustainable growth of the Group and sustainable development of society (sustainability). The council also oversees and manages the environmental activities of the entire Group. In response to these environmental policies, each department, office, and Group company has established an environmental management system under which they set out, implement, and monitor environmental targets and measures.

Acquiring environmental management certifications

The Nisshin OilliO Group has acquired ISO 14001 and other environmental management system certifications and implements activities based on an environmental management program. Since 2000, we have made efforts to acquire certification for each of our production plants, and in FY2009, we integrated our production plants and distribution centers (i.e. made them multi-sites) to create a system for centrally managing environmental targets and regulations and other key monitoring items. We will continue to promote certification to Group companies.
