Appropriate Management of Chemical Substances
The デュエルビッツ vipel Group carries out thorough and appropriate management of chemical substances, in line with domestic and international standards, and endeavors to reduce the use of hazardous substances and replace such substances with safer alternatives.
Thorough Chemical Substance Management
デュエルビッツ vipel has established the デュエルビッツ vipel Group Policy on Controlling Hazardous Chemical Substances and pursues thorough chemical substance management.
The use and management of each substance is clarified through Designated Chemical Substance Management Sheets. In addition to tallying transfer and output of substances as required by the PRTR Law1, we also engage in initiatives to limit the use and output of such substances.
According to reported figures collected under the PRTR Law for each location in the デュエルビッツ vipel Group (in Japan), the デュエルビッツ vipel Group handled 51 substances, with a total output2 of approximately 816 tons, and total transfer3 of 553 tons.
デュエルビッツ vipel Group Output/Transfer of Substances
- 1. The Pollutant Release and Transfer Register Law.
- 2. Output includes atmospheric and water emissions.
- 3. Transfer includes transfers of substances off of company grounds and drainage.
