ENVIRONMENT
& QUALITY POLICY

Concern about environment and quality

Environmental issues are one of the greatest challenges facing the 21st century society. Measures to preserve the environment are being demanded of each and every person living on this earth, as well as organizations and firms, in various different ways. In order to tackle environmental issues from a revolutionary perspective, we have created and enforced an “Environmental Policy.” With our mind set on minimizing environmental load, we are promoting such measures as revising production systems and various other processes in our corporate activities, properly disposing of waste and developing automotive parts that contribute to “lower fuel” and “reduce exhaust gas.”
Based on this policy, in the aspect of environmental management, we acquired ISO 14001 certification, the international standard on environmental management systems that was regulated for global environmental protection, in 2003. We also have launched an array of activities concerning energy conservation and recycling. We are committed to continue taking steps to minimize environmental load.
Also in the aspect of quality control, we obtained the certificate of ISO9001 in 1999. We are committed to continue making improvement and progress in quality and technology on a daily basis to provide our customers with the products of high quality and reliability.
