Meiji Rubber & Chemical Co., Ltd. has established the environmental conservation board in 1978 and has actively participated in environmental conservation activities.

Starting with the attempt to acquire the ISO14001 certificate in 1999, we at Meiji Rubber & Chemical Co., Ltd. have inaugurated the administration organization of environmental management and by 2004, through keeping our sights on the co-existence with society, have commenced the handling of environmental services by the service management division.

Currently, other than annually pursuing an environmental objective, we have set a further objective to accomplish in a 3 year time period and are formulating specific results in numbers and actions based on 6 themes.

Environmental Objective

We at Meiji Rubber & Chemical Co., Ltd. have started, since 2000, to set environmental objectives (3 year span objective/1 year span objective) in order to effectively implement improvement of matters that affect the environment.

Administration Organization of Environmental Management

The administration organization of environmental management is composed of 4 committees under the TQM (Total Quality Management) promotion committee.

Environment improvement is the shared awareness through out the world.

It is an issue that threatens the continuance of an enterprise if they are unable to conform to these standards.

We acknowledge these standards and strive to reduce the environmental burden by coming together as a team to eliminate ineffective actions within our establishment.
