Environmental Report 2023
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, the Group sets environmental targets and management targets for operations on an annual basis and carries out activities as the JAE Group in Japan in accordance with medium-term plans. In fiscal 2022, its main activities are as shown in the table below.
These activities function together to improve both production efficiency and quality. Not only did we benefit from activities such as resource recycling, including the reduction of chemical substance and raw material use, and the recycling of waste material and its conversion into a valuable resource; we also reduced costs and further promoted environment management.
