At NDK, we are aware that environmental conservation is of vital importance to the management of any corporation. This awareness has guided our hand in abolishing the use of ozone-depleting substances, as well as the promotion of energy conservation, reduced resource consumption and the other conservation activities we have actively pursued to reduce the impact of NDK's operations on the natural environment.

ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems. Such systems are essential to mitigating or offsetting the impact on and risks posed to the environment by an organization's activities, products and services. NDK has acquired ISO 14001 certification for its production sites in Japan and overseas. This exemplifies the way in which we as a group are driving environmental management forward.
