Conducting systematic environmental education and training
Environmental Education
In 2010, the Chugai Group conducted internal environmental auditor training, primarily for environmental managers at plants and research laboratories. The training was based on environmental manuals used in the Chugai Group so that participants completing the course could immediately put what they learned into practice in their workplaces. We also continued to provide environmental and safety training for newly hired MRs.
Internal Environmental and Safety Audits
In 2010, the Chugai Group conducted internal environmental and safety audits at two plants and three branches (including three offices), and at Chugai Distribution. At the two plants, storage instructions on labeling of waste materials and chemical substances were identified as needing improvement, but no other serious environmental or safety issues were found.
At branches and Chugai Distribution, improvements to environmental management systems (EMS) had progressed. While minor issues needing improvement were identified in waste treatment, no serious issues were found.
