EMS at Non-Production Sites
In FY2005, we worked for preparation of introducing the Eco
Stage* which we determined it as most ﬁt for introducing theenvironmenta l ma nagement system to our domest ic nonproduction sites in FY2 0 0 4. More precisely, a preliminary
inspection was made to each non-production site for introducing
the system and a kick-oﬀ declaration by the Secretariat. TheEMS will start from the FDKEMS, our own environmental management system that is more familiar to us than the Eco Stage,
with adding required control items. Then the level will be
gradually enhanced to EMS. In the coming years, the FDKGroup is determined to carry out environmental protection
activities by integrating the entire eﬀorts through introduction of
EMS to its non-production sites.
