Basic Environmental Management Policy and Six Principal Initiatives

Through environmental management based on three corporate visions, Kobe Steel aims to be a leading environmental corporate group.

At Kobe Steel, we believe we have a duty to future generations to leave behind a healthy ecosystem, in which all living creatures can thrive. To this end, we have established a Basic Environmental Management Policy as well as six areas for implementation.

We strive to implement environmentally conscious environmental management during every stage of our operations, and have set up a dedicated Environmental Management Committee to explore and make recommendations on these six areas. With participation by all Group employees, we are dedicated to becoming a leading environmental corporate group.

The Kobe Steel Group will continue to steadily promote environmental management.

The Kobe Steel Group implements groupwide environmental management based on a basic environmental policy consisting of three tenets: pursuing environmentally friendly manufacturing; contributing to the environment through products, technologies and services; and coexisting and cooperating with society.

We will continue to promote environmental management as a corporate group that contributes to society in numerous ways, including weight savings in transporation and hydrogen infrastructure, with a view toward creating a low-carbon society while earning the trust of local communities and customers in and outside Japan through the thorough practice of environmental management.
