Responsible Care Activities

responsiblecare

RC activities are being promoted by chemical industry associations in more than 70 countries worldwide. RC is a voluntary initiative for members of the chemical industry to implement and improve their environmental safety measures.

Participating companies pledge to ensure environmental protection, health and safety throughout the life cycle of their chemical products, from development, manufacturing, and distribution, to use, final consumption and disposal.

We have been participating in meetings of the Responsible Care Committee established by the Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA). Our participation involves presentation of activity results and engaging in dialogue with other members, and the aim is to earn the further confidence of society.

Responsible Care Policy

The Company acknowledges that the environment, safety, and health are the most important tasks and will make effort to engage in the following initiatives as our voluntary and continual Responsible Care activities:

  1. We will make efforts to reduce the environmental loads of our products and to conserve the environment throughout their lifecycles from their development to disposal.
  2. Based on the principle of Safety is the highest we will strive to ensure the safety of all persons engaged in our corporate business activities and local communities with the aim for zero accident and zero injuries with upmost efforts in creation of a safe work environment and security management of the facility.
  3. We will check the safety of chemical substances that are handled in raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products, provide information on their appropriate handling, and give consideration to the safety and health of all related persons, including our employees, logistics personnel, and customers.

We will disclose the efforts of our initiatives to the society and endeavor to engage in appropriate communication with our stakeholders.

RC Promotion System

We have established an RC Committee to carry out RC activities.

We established an RC policy and RC promotion system that encompasses safety, disaster prevention, and logistics safety items to further improve safety, health, and the environment, throughout the entire life cycle of our products.

The RC Committee manages the implementation of action plans to achieve goals based on the companyʹs policy priorities.
