Policies and Regulations

The OLC Group has established the OLC Group Environmental Policy that sets forth guidelines for action and our philosophy governing the OLC Group's environmental activities. This policy was approved by the Board of Directors. The OLC Group will clarify the roles and responsibilities for implementation of environmental management policy and commit to continuously improving our environmental performance.

The OLC Group Environmental Policy (Revised May 2022)

Environmental Philosophy
Bringing “Happiness” to future generations

We seek to work in harmony with the environment and society and pursue the sustainability of both through all our businesses to continue to offer “Wonderful Dreams, Moving Experiences, Happiness and Contentment” well into the future and pass down a healthier Earth and business to the next generation.


The OLC Group Environmental Action Policy

  1. The OLC Group will make every effort to address global warming, conserve energy, reduce and recycle waste, use water resources efficiently, consider biodiversity, prevent pollution, and engage in green purchasing in all aspects of its business operations.
    *We will also collaborate with the supply chain and various stakeholders in an effort to resolve environmental issues.
  2. The OLC Group will comply with all statutory regulations and internal standards related to the environment.
  3. The OLC Group will establish, implement, and review environmental objectives and targets on a regular basis.
  4. The OLC Group will offer education and training to all our employees so that they understand and can act independently in line with our Environmental Policy.
  5. The OLC Group will appropriately disclose information to stakeholders and strive to engage in good communication with them.

Reducing Environmental Impact across Supply Chain

The OLC Group established “The OLC Group Procurement Policy” that includes environmental issues to be considered throughout our entire supply chain in May 2022.  Also, the OLC Group has the “The OLC Group Vendors Code of Conduct” in place for our suppliers. 
To encourage our suppliers to advance their measures for environmental protection, the Code of Conduct prescribes our efforts to reduce all kinds of environmental impact, as well as to comply with laws, regulations, and other standards, for the purpose of preventing global warming and environmental contamination as well as giving consideration to biodiversity. In April 2024, we revised the Vendors Code of Conduct, adding some new items, including our approach to environmental issues and responsible raw materials procurement, and explicitly presenting implementation details.

Governance

The OLC Group Environmental Management Structure

The OLC Group has a committee in place to promote environmental initiatives.

Structures to Promote Environmental Action

Recognizing environmental issues including climate change as an important managerial challenge to be addressed, our Board of Directors resolved to set “Measures to address climate change and natural disasters” and “Recycling-oriented society” as areas of our ESG Materiality, and monitor the progress made in our related plans.

The OLC Group has established an Environment Committee chaired by the Director of the Corporate Strategy Planning Division (Corporate Officer). The committee is responsible for planning and setting targets for the Company’s environmental activities including against climate change and comprises three subcommittees*. These subcommittees conduct fact-finding surveys, devise strategies for addressing environmental issues, and implement initiatives to reduce environmental impact. Through the Environment Committee, targets and plans regarding environmental actions are reported to the Board of Directors annually.

 

*Subcommittee on Climate Change, Subcommittee on Chemicals Management, and Subcommittee on Resource Recycling (as of October 2025).

Risk Management

Internal Environmental Audits

The OLC Group has been conducting internal environmental audits on specific themes each year.

In FY2024, the Internal Auditing Department took charge and audited the Environment Committee secretariat and the Subcommittee on Resource Recycling to discern whether the management cycle for addressing the sustainability challenge of shifting to a “recycling-oriented society,” which involves one of the most critical risks (strategic risks) identified by the OLC Group, was functioning properly and effectively. In FY2025, the OLC Group is scheduled to perform an additional audit on matters under consideration in view of the FY2024 results.

Environmental Education for Employees

Internal exposition organized by the Subcommittee on Climate Change

The OLC Group has been publishing an environmental series on the intranet and in our in-house newsletter and also held an internal exposition to raise employee awareness of the importance of environmental conservation.
In addition, we showed environmental awareness videos at employee cafeterias and on-site buses to gain wider recognition of the OLC Group's environmental targets and environmental activities among our employees.
Furthermore, the Subcommittee on Climate Change called for ideas on saving energy at the workplace, encouraging all employees to take spontaneous actions to save power. 
The Subcommittee on Climate Change and Subcommittee on Resource Recycling present awards in recognition of distinguished initiatives undertaken by divisions and Group companies. The award ceremonies help enhance employee engagement and spread enthusiasm for environmental action across the OLC Group.
We thus take advantage of different opportunities to offer environmental education through various activities.
