Increasing Certified Environmentally Conscious Products

The group has started its own certification system for environmentally conscious products: the "Eco Symbol Mark Certification System" and is increasing the number of applicable products.

Strengthening Alliance with Suppliers

We promote "Green Procurement" where we preferentially purchase materials from suppliers that are aggressively working on environmental activities.
