The Environmental Planning and Promotion Group plans and proposes strategies to address social issues and company environmental measures and compiles environment-related data from workplaces and manufacturing bases within Japan and overseas. At the Environmental Management Review (chaired by the officer in charge of environment with attendees including Executive Officers) which is held every half-year, it conducts deliberations and confirms the degree of achievement of overall environmental measures.
