デュエルビッツ ボーナスent Activities at Overseas Locations

As with business locations and Group companies in Japan, the デュエルビッツ ボーナスel Group implements environmental management systems for overseas Group companies in line with Japanese standards. To this end, since fiscal 2009 デュエルビッツ ボーナスel has been carrying out environmental inspections at its manufacturing locations worldwide, aiming to confirm environmental management conditions on-site, implement necessary corrective measures and strengthen management.

In fiscal 2016, inspections were carried out at Group manufacturing companies in Thailand. The purpose of the inspections was to grasp actual environmental management conditions and identify related problems. Improvements were implemented based on the results. Management procedures were also established and implemented for manufacturing Group companies in China. In the future, we will continue to engage in initiatives to strengthen environmental management at overseas locations.

In China, where our production sites have increased in recent years, Kobelco (China) Holding Co., Ltd. (KCHD), which is our headquarters in China, appointed an environmental manager in April 2015, in order to provide detailed support in greater cooperation with Group companies. In order to support environmental management at Chinese Group companies, デュエルビッツ ボーナスCHD environmental manager regularly disseminates the latest information on environmental laws and holds regular exchange meetings for environmental managers at Chinese Group companies.

In the United States, which is home to many Group production sites, the environmental manager at デュエルビッツ ボーナスel USA Inc. (KSU), our U.S. headquarters, shares information with environmental managers at production sites through EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) meetings. In other areas, we are practicing communication in various ways such as upgrading the level of our systems for sharing environmental information and holding environmental seminars. Going forward, we will continue these kinds of initiatives in an effort to reduce our environmental risk.
