The Teijin Group Global Environmental Policy
The Teijin Group Global Environmental Policy
We believe that protecting and nurturing a healthy global environment is fundamental to the Healthy Planet we aim for. Accordingly, we hereby establish "The Teijin Group Global Environmental Policy" to clearly express our stance on addressing global environmental issues related to our business activities.
- 1.Foundational principles
We not only ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations, international standards, and agreements to which we have committed, but also strive to reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with our business activities, and to promote the conservation of the global environment. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance both the efficiency and resilience of our operations. Furthermore, we regard global environmental issues as business opportunities, and by providing solutions that leverage the Group's technologies and human resources, we aim to generate positive impacts on the global environment.
- 2.Global environmental issues related to business activities
We recognize that our business activities depend on natural capital and are related to biodiversity and that our initiatives to address global environmental issues contribute to the conservation of these items. Therefore, we will promote initiatives to address the following issues:
- (1)Climate change
We strive to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with our business activities and aim to achieve net-zero GHG emissions for the entire Teijin Group by 2050. Furthermore, we will contribute to GHG emission reductions through solutions that promote climate change mitigation, and we will provide solutions that support climate change adaptation.
- (2)Resource utilization
We strive to use resources and energy efficiently in our business activities and promote waste reduction and the effective utilization of waste as resources. Furthermore, by collaborating with a wide range of partners at each stage of the value chain, we advance product design, development, supply, and technological innovation that support resource circulation, thereby contributing to the achievement of a circular economy.
- (3)Pollution
We strive to reduce emissions of pollutants and hazardous substances to prevent pollution of the air, water, oceans, and soil.
- (4)Water resources
We strive to practice responsible water stewardship, considering local water risks and conditions in each region.
- 3.Scope of application
We will promote initiatives in line with this policy across all our business activities, in every region where we operate, and throughout the entire value chain, both upstream and downstream.
- 4.Management Framework
We recognize the environmental risks associated with our business and establish an appropriate management framework, including an environmental management system. We set indicators and targets relating to global environmental issues and, through regular monitoring, we work toward their achievement and the continuous improvement of performance. In addition, we designate the Chief Officer responsible for Sustainability as the person accountable for implementing this policy.
- 5.Employee Education and Awareness
We promote environmental education and raise awareness for all officers and employees across the Group.
- 6.Information Disclosure and Stakeholder Engagement
We regularly disclose our initiatives and progress related to global environmental issues through various reports and our website. Furthermore, we engage in constructive dialogue with diverse stakeholders involved in our business, promote necessary education and capacity building, and actively participate in community activities. In addition, we expect all stakeholders--including suppliers and business partners--to understand support and respect this policy.
