Environmental management system
Environmental Management System
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.
Environmental Management Organization
NDK promotes the reduction of effects on the environment and energy saving and the reduction of wastes by establishing Environmental Management Organization to show our attitudes towards preservation of the global environment as the figure shows.
Obtainment of ISO 14001 Certification
ISO 14001 is an international standard of 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.
