We at OKK make symbiosis with global environment a top-priority issue as a member of society and contribute to creating an enriched society in harmony with global environment through our business activities toward reduction of environmental burdens and structuring of recycling-oriented society, thus aiming to be an enterprise gaining the trust of society.

Environmental policy

We at OKK implement activities that enable us to contribute to creating an enriched society in harmony with global environment, by building up an environmental management system conforming to the requirements under the ISO 14001 and defining the basic policy detailed below to take actions for environmental issues through our business.

  • Reduce CO2 emissions through energy conservation and conversion to fuel with reduced environmental burden.

  • Be committed to reducing environmental burdens from the research, development, and design stages of product, and provide eco-friendly products.

  • Give consideration to consumption of resources/energy and reduction of wastes in the production and logistics processes, and to environmental preservation and resource protection for the procurement of raw and processed materials, parts, and equipment, working to reduce environmental burdens and also promote their reuse and recycling.

  • Keep accurate track of environmental impacts resulting from business activities (e.g. environmental pollution, resource decline, and global warming) to not only work for continual improvement in environmental preservation activities but also prevent pollution, to the extent technically and economically possible.

  • Observe international environmental standards, national and local environmental regulations, and other requirements to which we agree to responsibly control our business activities that have concerns about causing significant environmental impacts. In addition, where appropriate, establish independent criteria to work for environmental preservation.

  • To accomplish the basic environmental policy, establish and review environmental objectives and targets periodically in accordance with statutory requirements, other requirements to which we agree, already possessed environmental aspects, and opinions/comments from parties interested.

  • Implement environmental education and awareness campaign to thoroughly communicate the basic environmental policy to all employees and subcontractors working in the premises, and also raise awareness of environmental preservation.

  • Carry out smooth communication with local residents and the authorities concerned and, if requested from outside the Company to disclose the basic environmental policy or challenges related to environmental preservation, immediately distribute or disclose to them.
