Environmental Conservation Approach
Our Approach to Environmental Conservation
As a glass manufacturer that relies heavily on resources and energy, environmental conservation is a top management priority. We view environmental responsibility as a core value, and throughout our operations, we have maintained a strong commitment to protecting the environment.
We believe the key to environmentally friendly manufacturing lies in creating the most efficient processes possible. To that end, we continually strive to reduce our environmental footprint, tackling challenges such as sustainable development and biodiversity conservation. Additionally, we are actively working toward carbon neutrality in response to the growing global focus on climate change.

The Environmental Charter is shared with all employees and affiliated companies and is available to external parties upon request.
