We assess the environmental impacts of our products and business activities, and strive to reduce these negative impacts by developing and introducing environmentally compatible technologies and processes.
In our business activities we work to help create a society with sound material cycles, by supporting efforts to better understand environmental issues, and by making use of technologies and information.
We establish environmental management systems at all of our factories and operate them according to voluntary standards. We seek continuous improvement in our environmental management by conducting environmental audits and other efforts.
We educate, train and motivate employees to be good environmental stewards, and support and encourage activities that promote environmental protection.

M (Materials) refers to the efficient use of resources, E (Energy), to the efficient use of energy; and T (Toxicity), to reducing the use of substances potentially harmful to the environment. It is from these three perspectives -- MET -- that we work to reduce the negative environmental impact of our business activities. In order for our MET activities to blossom and bear fruit in the form of technologies and products with less negative impact on the environment, we will conscientiously cultivate the MET tree of environmental management.
