ecosystem (air/water/soil) from their business sites as well as emissions transferred off-site as waste to report those emissions to their country. Their country then releases the quantity of emissions and transfer
off-site based on the reported data and measurements.

Moreover, the FDK Group will promote environmental initiatives as One FDK with the help of each and every employee through fair corporate
activities which comply with environmental laws and regulations to pass down a beautiful global environment rich with nature to the next generation.
