Eco Vision 2015
Environmental Policy
We positively promote actions for environmental conservation through all business activities to contribute to construction of a sustainable society with the participation of everyone concerned.
【Action Guidelines】
- Environmental management:
We will abide by all laws, regulations, protocols, and voluntary standards relating to environmental conservation to prevent environmental pollution. We also aim to manage both environmental conservation and business growth by continually trying to enhance our environment management system (EMS) and environmental performance from a global point of view. - Business operation:
We will promote environmentally friendly business activity to contribute to prevention of global warming, resource recycling, and biodiversity conservation throughout the entire life cycle of our products from procurement of the materials to disposal. - Cooperation with society:
We will try to disclose information and to enhance communication for improving the trust of our stakeholders and deepening cooperation with society. We also try to enhance environmental consciousness by positively enforcing participation of all the employees in environmental conservation activities.
Basic Philosophy
Environmental issues are a common challenge for all mankind. Every member of the NGK Spark Plug Group will work towards reducing environmental burdens from our business activities as much as possible and developing and providing products and technologies that contribute to improving the environment. We will also endeavor to communicate in greater depth with our stakeholders including our local communities so that we may all work together to contribute to creating a sustainable society.
Voice
Eco Vision 2015 was formulated last year in order to envision the ideal state of environmental affairs in 2015. Fiscal 2011 saw many drastic changes, but climate change (global warming) remains a global issue, and therefore this Group places emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions.
In the future, the entire Group will continue its reduction efforts while considering CO2 emission management that incorporates the supply chain, in the hope of contributing to establishing a sustainable society.
