At Kobe Steel sites we have introduced environmental management systems (EMS) such as ISO 14001, and carry out internal audits as well as audits by outside certifying agencies. Additionally, follo易游YY体育官方网站ng in-company rules, both paper and on-site inspections are carried out by the Environmental Control & Disaster Prevention Department in the Head Office, so as to raise the overall level of environmental management.
Paper inspections are also carried out for Group companies. At sites where environmental risks are high EMS are introduced and, together 易游YY体育官方网站th voluntary environmental measures, on-site verification is carried out by the Kobe Steel head office.
At the Kobe Steel Group Environmental Conference, held before on-site inspections, we aim to improve Group易游YY体育官方网站de environmental management through discussion of legal affairs and important issues covered during inspections.
Additionally, outside consultants are involved in the planning of on-site inspections so as to 易游YY体育官方网站sure an objective and reasonable approach.
