Environmental Targets and Activity Results

In an effort to lower its environmental impact and promote the production of environmentally friendly products, the JAE Group works under ISO14001 certification. Respecting the autonomy of each site, it sets goals and objectives on an annual basis, and carries out activities as the JAE Group in Japan in accordance with medium-term plans. In fiscal 2020, its main activities were as shown in the table below.
　Energy-conservation and material-conservation are achieved by improving both production efficiency and quality. Not only did we benefit from activities such as resource recycling, including the recycling of chemical substances and the recycling of waste material and conversion of it into a valuable resource; we also reduced costs and further promoted environment management.
　Improvements to the energy use primary unit carried out to fight climate change — i.e., higher energy use efficiency relative to production output — meant that we far exceeded our Phase 1 targets for the low-carbon-society plan. We will consider a transition to renewable energy while promoting efficient energy use in order to continue raising the efficiency of our manufacturing activities.
