Group Shared Policy on Environment

We focus our environmental efforts on both our own business activities and the entire value chain^*1, from upstream resource extraction to downstream usage and disposal, along with the surrounding areas.

We limit greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain^*2 to the extent that the Earth can naturally absorb, promote climate change mitigation and adaptation, and contribute to achieving net-zero emissions.

We promote the alleviation of negative impacts related to air, water and soil pollution (including prevention and management) and contribute to securing food resources for future generations, conserving natural environments (including ecosystems and biodiversity), preserving water resources through appropriate water treatment and water quality improvement to prevent water pollution^*3, and reducing water-related risks.

We appropriately implement the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) for waste generated across the entire value chain, expand the use of non-fossil-based and recycled materials, and advance initiatives^*4 to maximize resource utilization.

We comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Under the Environmental Management System, we continually strive to prevent environmental problems, regularly conduct monitoring and risk assessment, and promote environmental improvement.
