ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTBusiness activities and environmental impact
In the process of manufacturing activities related to our core business sectors, steel and energy products business and industrial machinery products
business, the environmental impact status is shown below.
We measure both inputs (consumption of energy, water, and the like) and outputs (such as waste, carbon dioxide, and water resulting frommanufacturing processes), and use the data in our environmental improvement activities.
