Environmental Management System

Basic Concept

IDEC considers that the matter related to climate change has made a large impact on our business, and the activities by the top management has addressed activities.
We have considered risks and opportunities throughout our business activities, complied with laws relating to the protection of environmental pollution and environment, and developed eco-friendly products. We also addressed to reduce the environmental loads per each area and department based on the environmental management system for the achievement of the environmental targets of the medium-term.

Environmental Management System

We have constructed the global environmental management system under the environmental governance framework (click here for details).
The global environmental management system is composed of the environmental management system (EMS) for the certification of each company's ISO14001 in Japan, the EMS for the certification of all the overseas factories' ISO14001 including APEM's head office, and overseas sales companies. Overseas sales companies have conducted activities complied with the basic contents of ISO14001 under the global EMS.

As for the initiatives for the environmental management, a person responsible for the environmental audit is appointed for the objective and fair internal audit of the management system. Also, environmental auditors who have attended the training for internal auditors held by a certification agency perform the internal audit.

The person responsible for the environmental  management obtains information on the establishment and revision of the environmental laws and regulations, and updates our lists of environmental rules. Each department controls daily environmental risks based on the lists of environmental rules, the person responsible for the environmental audit audits the compliance status during an internal audit, and our Environmental Management Operational Organization confirms the compliance status. This is how we ensure the compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Moreover, environmental aspects and environmental targets are selected in consideration of risks and opportunities by each department, and are approved by the Senior Executive Officer in charge of the environment.

ISO14001
