Chemical Management
Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Products
In fiscal 2011, we paved the way for effective chemical management by formulating a Chemical Management Strategy.
In fiscal 2012, we plan to evaluate risks in line with our Chemicals Management Strategy, starting with high-priority products, so that we can provide our customers with adequate information based on our findings. We also intend to use the theory and methods of lifecycle assessment (LCA) in order to evaluate the environmental impact of our products from different angles, so that we can effectively “visualize” their environmental friendliness.
New chemical management initiatives in line with new chemical legislation
Our vision for chemical management is based on adequately controlling product risks throughout each product's lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal, and on providing our customers with adequate information so that they can use our products more safely.
To conduct such chemical management and information provision reliably, we intend to establish a centralized system that will enable us to manage all information relating to our products and chemicals. At the same time, in order to share product information throughout the supply chain meanwhile, and promote mutual understanding with our stakeholders, we will also build systems to efficiently disseminate information such as JAMP*.
We are committed to contributing to a sustainable society through activities such as these.
