Biodiversity Initiatives

In the Nippon Chemi-Con Group's activities to conserve biodiversity, we will take actions for each of the three impacts on biodiversity.

  • Impact from procurement of raw materials

    In cooperation with our suppliers, we share views and mutual understanding concerning biodiversity, and move continuously ahead with activities.

  • Impact on ecosystems caused by manufacturing

    Our manufacturing processes use energy and resources, and they emit CO2, waste water and other emissions. As this is an area where our Group's business activities directly have an impact, effective and continuous activities are ongoing. At the model factory, water quality and aquatic life surveys near the plant are regularly conducted to confirm that there is no change in the surrounding environment.

  • Impact on biodiversity due to changes in environments surrounding our workplaces caused by our use of land

    Consideration to local environment and surrounding ecosystem by securing green space in our premises and the social contribution activities.
    Biodiversity offers indispensable and vital bounties (ecosystem services) to all of humanity. The activities that we are able to perform are steady and modest ones, we think. Yet we believe that each workplace employing its ingenuity, and continuing with what small activities it can accomplish, is a very significant thing. We will roll out such steady and continuous activities.
