The graph below shows the cumulative amount of environment-related capital expenditures. Our main environmental facilities include dust collectors to prevent dust emissions, soundproofing equipment to block noise from the dust collectors, and energy-saving equipment.
In fiscal 2025, we primarily focused on upgrading soundproofing equipment and air conditioning systems.
We systematically conduct education and training on the operation of the environmental management system and how to respond to emergencies, as required by law.
The main themes are "Environmental policy," "Significance of Operating an Environmental Management System," and "Waste Handling," which are taught with initiatives in each workplace.
Through such education and training, we are working to raise awareness and the level of understanding.
