The Nikon Group has accelerated its environmental management by acquiring ISO 14001 certification. Since July 1998, when the Ohi Plant first obtained independent certification, plants and subsidiaries in the Group have one after another followed suit. In 2004, the Group began acquiring integrated certification to build a unified Environmental Management System.
In the year ended March 31, 2009, Nikon TEC — a nonmanufacturing subsidiary — and Hikari Glass (Changzhou) Optics — an overseas manufacturing base for optical glass-obtained integrated certification. In addition, the Nikon Environmental Management Simplified System, consisting of important elements from ISO 14001, which applies to companies that generate a low environmental burden, was implemented in Nanjing Nikon and Nikon Engineering.
In the year ending March 31, 2010, Nikon plans to gradually implement the Nikon Environmental Management Simplified System in Japan and overseas offices that generate low environmental impact.
Through these activities, Nikon uses the environmental management system group-wide, and has introduced environmental preservation activities such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions through reduced energy consumption, effectively using resources (promotion of the 3Rs) and reducing the use of hazardous chemical substances.
"Acquisition of ISO 14001 certification (Grop companies)"is shown.
