Established April 1998 / Revised April 2000
Rapid advances in science and technology have led to the dramatic progress of civilization and to our current enjoyment of an affluent life.
At the same time, we are witnessing the advancing destruction of the environment on the global scale as evidenced by global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, shrinking tropical rainforests, desertification and oceanic pollution. The state of affairs grows graver day by day, putting the survival of not only humankind but all life at stake. Increasingly complex and diversified social systems are deeply intertwined in these global environmental problems, and it is undeniable that the corporate activity is one of the important causes of them.
At Fujikura Ltd. we are very aware that our business activities have a close relationship with the global environment and make every possible effort to protecting the global environment.
At Fujikura Ltd. we extend our basic policy of "endeavoring to create an affluent and life through the efforts of all members of the Fujikura Group" to the global network, and tackle the conservation of the global environment through total collaboration of the company.
In all fields of our business activities, each member of our company shall act with a priority on the global environment conservation.
We shall prepare corporate organizations and systems for environment conservation under the responsibility of a director appointed to undertake the environment portfolio. Each corporate organization shall promote scheduled, continual improvement by clarifying environmental objectives and goals.
We shall not only observe the environmental laws and regulations of national and local governments, but also shall set our own management standards to improve the level of environmental management. In addition, we shall conduct periodic environment auditing to maintain and improve self-initiated environmental management.
We shall make efforts to pursue environmental conservation in all phases of our business activities from development and design to procurement, fabrication, installation, sale, distribution and disposal of our products. In addition, we shall also tackle energy saving, resource conservation, recycling and reduction of waste and substances that place a burden on the environment in order to prevent environmental pollution.
We shall provide users of our products with the information on their optimum usage, recycling and disposal method.
We shall actively participate in local environment conservation activities that contribute to the local community as a member of the community by striving for enhanced mutual understanding and a cooperative relationship.
We shall not only observe the environmental laws and regulations of the national and local governments where we do business outside of Japan, but also shall set our own management standards to improve the level of environmental management. We shall also make full use of technology and expertise in environment conservation and cultivate environmental management-related human resources.
We shall foster understanding and elevate consciousness of global environment conservation among all our employees through training, PR and promotion activities.
