Various approaches are being taken to achieve sustainable development in a broad range of fields. In Japan, laws and regulations such as the Home Appliance Recycling Law and the Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources have come into force. In Europe, preparations are being made to pass similar laws and regulations such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and the Directive on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS).
The Yokogawa Group is aware that preserving the environment on our irreplaceable planet Earth is the highest priority issue for all humanity. For this reason, we are aiming in every aspect of our corporate activities to help achieve a sustainable society.
As part of this effort, we are conducting surveys to determine the content of hazardous chemical substances in parts and materials. These surveys are being conducted under the guidelines of the Japan Green Procurement Survey Standardization Initiative (JGPSSI) and are being done in order to facilitate the procurement of environmentally friendly materials.
(Note: We have changed the JGPSSI Tool from the conventionally used Ver.2 to Ver.3. From now on, you will be requested to submit your report using Tool Ver.3.)
