The Oji Group recognizes that the reduction of the environmental burden is an important task for realizing a sustainable society. Under the Oji Group Environment Action Target 2020, we have set Limitless Challenge to Zero-Environmental Burden as a policy, aiming for zero-environmental burden in each and every operational procedure by raising environmental awareness further and integrating our technological, operational, and planning capabilities. Specifically, we promote measures for preventing pollution by striving to control the emission of chemical compounds in exhaust gas and pollutants in wastewater, save resources, and reduce and make effective use of waste.
