Environmental Management System ✪极速赛车官网开奖直播
Our Environmental Management System (EMS) consists of an integrated accreditation system for planning, R&D, production, marketing, sales, services, storage, and shipment. Since 2004, the system covers all major subsidiaries in Japan.
While keeping the core elements of the EMS consistent across the group, we differentiate according to the scale of the environmental impact. Specifically, operating companies and plants with a relatively large environmental impact get case-specific treatment, while those with less impact get standard treatment.
We also try to give the companies sufficient leeway to manage their environmental impacts in a manner that suits the nature of their businesses. For example, we allow the companies to set environmental targets in line with their business strategies.
Environment-related documents are managed under a system called MELON. In a July 2013 upgrade, MELON’s coverage was expanded and the system was made more user-friendly, efficient, and accurate. We have an environmental management system to which we have added our overseas business division that is responsible for the operation and management of our overseas business, Actus interior retail business and special subsidiary of Heartland from 2022. The aim of doing so is to tackle environmental problems that are diversifying and becoming more complicated in Japan and overseas.

First-, second-, and third-party audits ✪极速赛车官网开奖直播
First-, second-, and third-party audits are performed to ensure conformity
across our corporate group. In first-party audits, the auditee (a group
company) performs the audit on itself. In second-party audits, our ISO
Promotion Office performs the audit on the auditee. In third-party audits, an
independent body performs the audit in compliance with the requirements of ISO
14001. The audits focus most of all on legal compliance. In 2021, first-party
audits were performed from July 1 to August 6, second-party audits were
performed from August 17 to September 17, and third-party audits were
performed from November 30 to December 10. There were 38 issues identified in
internal audits. Of those, the most were in relation to waste matter with nine
such issues identified. However, we believe that this is a result of an
increasing ability to internally detect defects and to then take improvement
and corrective measures against them by ourselves.
There were no issues identified in the ISO14001 audit, but the focus of that
audit has shifted from planning aspects to operational aspects in terms of
opportunities for improvement. This means there are an increasing number of
areas for which there are even higher expectations. Therefore, in addition to
strengthening operational aspects, we feel it is necessary to consider
implementation methods to ensure the internal audits that check those
operational aspects will function even better. Those methods include
conducting mutual audits across departments and conducting first-party audits
as openly as possible.
We started the ReEDEN Project that has been commended by those outside our
company and received the highest number of good points in the ISO14001 audit
since undergoing the audit to transition to the 2015 version in December 2016.
The ISO14001 audit in 2021 was a renewal audit.

Overview of Third-party Reviews of Environmental Performance Data✪极速赛车官网开奖直播
The review found that there are some sites where underlying materials are appropriately filed and where data transparency is secured. Nevertheless, it also identified some sites where there are omissions in the registration of data and where the basis of calculations is not clear. In light of the issues raised, we will work harder to improve the accuracy and precision of disclosures both internally and throughout our supply chains in the future.
