Water is a key resource that is essential for our business activities. There are concerns that regions where access to water will deteriorate (greater water risks) as a result of climate change and economic activity will increase around the world. It is with this understanding that the Group strives to reduce its environmental impact by effectively using limited water resources without waste in its business activities and by discharging wastewater following proper treatment.

Please refer to promotion systems on the environmental management page.

Note: Water consumption includes some estimate in the production departments.(FY2017, FY2018)

The Group will continue its efforts to reduce water usage and will discharge wastewater in accordance with wastewater standard specified by law. We will also undertake water related environmental preservation in collaboration with local communities including preservation of forests that nurture and store water.
