HOYA's environmental protection activities had their inception when the Pollution
Control Committee was created for each factory of the Group in 1976. Then the
HOYA Group Environmental Philosophy and Fundamental Environmental
Policies were formulated in 1993, and the Rules for the Group's Environmental
Management Organization were established in 1996. Thus, according to those
guidelines and rules, the environmental protection (conservation) organization of
the HOYA Group had been managed under the supervision of the Headquarters
Environmental Conference as the supreme decision-making body headed by the
CEO.
In October 2008, the environmental protection organization and the occupational
safety and health organization of the Group were merged with each other, and
consequently the above-mentioned Headquarters Environmental Conference was
abolished. Since then, with the new structure supervised by the HOYA Group
Director for Environmental Protection, Occupational Safety and Health, the Group
has been conducting various activities of environmental protection.
HOYA Group Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
Organization
At the end of March 2010, the basic specifications for the environmental facilities
(installations) within HOYA were defined, and the HOYA Group Environmental
Protection Standard for Facility was issued with the purpose of preventing such
installations from having any harmful impact on the environment inside and
outside the workplaces. With the issuance of the standard, the Group is now
ready to introduce environmental facilities (installations) after careful
consideration of possible environmental burdens inside and outside the
workplace from the design stage.
Environmental activities —HOYA’s Approach to the
Environment—
HOYA actively engages in environmental preservation efforts as part of its corporate social
responsibility in order to pass on to future generations a global environment in better shape than
today.
