Environmental Policy

In line with the Sanko Kasei Group Environmental Philosophy, Sanko Kasei endeavors to reduce the environmental burden associated with all aspects of our manufacturing operations, from mold design and fabrication to molding, machining and assembly, as well as the products and services themselves, in accordance with the following five principles.

1. We comply with all relevant environmental laws and regulations as well as client requirements as agreed. To this end, we carefully monitor compliance with predefined voluntary targets and thresholds.

2. We strive to reduce our environmental footprint by using energy-saving production processes designed to minimize material usage, and by minimizing the generation of waste plastic output and consumption of electricity, which represent our two major environmental burdens.

3. We are committed to green procurement principles for key production inputs such as molding and packaging materials. We strive to protect the environment and prevent pollution by embracing environmentally friendly equipment and technology.

4. We provide all employees with training and awareness programs on our environmental obligations at Sanko Kasei, as part of our commitment to engage with local communities and wider society.

5. The Environmental Policy is documented and is promulgated widely both within and outside the organization.
