    * 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.

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 those related to climate change. In the committee, the Subcommittee on Climate Change has been established to 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 Executive Committee and 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 regularly conducts internal environmental audits on themes designated as the most critical risks (strategic risks) identified by the Group.

Internal environmental audits are overseen by the Internal Auditing Department. It audits the Environment Committee secretariat and Subcommittees to determine if the management cycle is functioning properly and effectively.

Environmental Education for Employees

The OLC Group carries out activities to raise employee awareness of the importance of environmental conservation.
Such activities include publishing an environmental series on the intranet and in our in-house newsletter, holding an internal exposition, and showing environmental awareness videos at employee cafeterias and on-site buses.
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. In addition, the subcommittee presents awards in recognition of distinguished initiatives undertaken by divisions and Group companies, which help enhance employee engagement and spread enthusiasm for environmental action across the OLC Group.
