CSR/Environmental Policies

CSR Policy

Our group works hard to achieve a good balance between the social, economic, and environmental aspects through our business activities. Moreover, when promoting management and business activities, our group would like to respond to interested parties (stakeholders) honestly and sincerely and continue with our contributions by providing new value. At the same time, we are determined to realize a sustainable society and to ensure the continuous growth and development of our group.

Environmental Policy

We obtained ISO14001 certification (internationally recognized standard for environmental management system) for office chair operations in March 1999 and for all our operations, including the Headquarters Division, in September 2001. In order to enhance our operational efficiency through the use of an integrated environmental management approach and improve our management capabilities through the company-wide consolidation of expertise, we consolidated our existing environmental management systems, so far independent from each other, into one new system in 2006 and obtained ISO14001 certification in October of the same year. We now promote environmental conservation activities according to the following environmental Policy.
