Environmental Management System

In the environmental preservation section of our Responsible Care (RC) policies, we strive to reduce our environmental impact and curb global warming in harmony with the global environment, while promoting energy and resource conservation, as well as efforts to reduce waste and promote its effective use.

The guidelines on activities to reduce Osaka Soda’s environmental impact primarily concern formulating an annual action plan (RC Implementation Program) to achieve each department’s targets set in line with Responsible Care Policies and being compliant with international standards for environmental management systems.

We regard balancing business growth with consideration for the global environment as a key management issue. To reduce the environmental impact of our business activities, we promote continuous improvement efforts based on ISO 14001, the international environmental management standard.
As of present, four of our five plants are certified under ISO 14001, meaning that 80% of our facilities comply with the international standard. 

In fiscal year 2024, there were no violations of environmental laws or regulations.

The material balance resulting from our production activities during fiscal year 2024 is shown below.
