As part of implementing our Environmental Management System, an Environmental Management Committee has been set up at each of our business bases, and a KDS Group Environmental Management Committee has been established to supervise the entire company. The KDS Group Environmental Management Committee determines the goals of the environmental activities of the KDS Group, examines the results of the activities, makes effective use of the PDCA cycle, and works for continuous improvement of environmental performance.
To ensure efficient operation of the Environmental Management System, it is important to check whether the environmental management is being properly implemented and to correct any problems found.
The KDS Group conducts an internal environmental audit once a year to check the status of its management system and corrects any problems found.
The results of the internal environmental audit is reported to the management in the management review, where the effectiveness and points for improvement of the system are discussed, contributing to the continuous improvement of the Environmental Management System.
The KDS Group has acquired ISO 14001 certification, an international environmental management standard. All of our domestic offices/plants acquired the certification in 2000, aiming at implementation of an integrated management system. We will continue to work for environmental conservation by implementing an environmental management system consistent with ISO 14001.
TIANJIN KDS CORP. and PT. KDS INDONESIA, our overseas production bases, have also acquired ISO14001 certification and are equally committed to environmental conservation.
Each plant/office has an “Emergency Response Program” in place that specifies the procedures for dealing with possible emergencies and accidents to minimize impacts on surrounding neighborhoods.
To verify the effectiveness of the Emergency Response Program, emergency response training is provided in June, our Environment Month, in which emergency communication network, storage locations/quantities of equipment to be used, etc. are checked, in order to be prepared for emergencies.
