Sanden Environmental Charter
In 1993, we established the Sanden Environmental Charter as a voluntary plan. In 1997, we revised our Environmental
Charter in light of the establishment of ISO 14001 as the international standard for environmental management
systems in 1996 and the importance of corporate environmental preservation activities.
With the revision, we introduced the Sanden Environmental Charter at all domestic and overseas affiliates to clarify
the direction of the Sanden Group’s environmental initiatives.
