Imasen Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Environmental Manager
In order to promote Company-wide environmental conservation initiatives, activities are promoted by the organizations shown in the figure below.
Construction of Environmental Management System
We have established an ISO14001 environmental management system and acquired certification for our head office and all plants.
Across our company and its domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries (12 sites in total, excluding non‑production sites), 10 sites have acquired ISO 14001 certification.
Setting environmental improvement targets and tracking the progress of activities
We set annual targets in various items such as CO2 emissions and waste reduction, and support activities and track progress toward achieving votes.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations
As part of our environmental management system, each site prepares a “List of Environmental Laws and Regulations” and reviews applicable laws and other requirements every May.
Each site also checks and records its compliance status at least once a year and implements corrective actions when necessary.
Initiatives to Reduce Environmental Impact
We regard the conservation of the global environment as an important corporate responsibility and are committed to the proper management and reduction of waste as well as the control of chemical substance emissions.
For waste management, we strictly comply with legally required classification and control procedures while promoting recycling.
By converting items previously treated as industrial waste—such as waste plastics—into valuable resources through resale as raw materials, we work to reduce waste, lessen environmental impacts, and promote the effective use of resources.
For chemical substances, we work to reduce usage and emissions by switching to less harmful materials and implementing other improvement initiatives.
Regarding water resources, we monitor and manage usage while promoting conservation through measures such as installing water‑saving coating equipment and conducting daily productivity improvement and defect‑reduction activities.
*PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) is a system in which businesses report to the government the amounts of potentially harmful chemical substances they release or transfer.
