Energy Conservation / Climate Change Prevention |
 |
|
Increased energy consumption has an impact on environmental issues such as climate change. It is now a common practice for corporations to implement limited energy levels more effectively to complete their industrial activities. Kyocera began its energy conservation measures in FY1993 with the goal of reducing energy consumption.

Resource Conservation |
|
|
To maximize the utilization of limited resources and contribute to global environmental protection, the Kyocera Group is working on resource conservation for vehicle fuel, water, gas, travel expenses, paper and packing materials.
Kyocera is committed to this activity by adding packing and shipping charges and exhaustible resources to these items and setting detailed reduction targets. |

Waste Reduction and
Recycling Measures |
|
|
To contribute to a recycling-based society, Kyocera started its activities for industrial waste reduction with a basic policy in FY1992. Since FY2009, Kyocera has been working to reduce waste while updating part of the previous basic policy.
| Basic Policy for Waste Reduction |
| 1. Do not bring in non-recyclable materials. |
| 2. Minimize waste generated by business activities |
| 3. Recycle waste once it is generated |
| 4. Change non-recyclable waste into harmless materials |

Air Pollution and Water Pollution Prevention Activities |
|
|
Kyocera has been involved in reducing pollutants as the environment and ecosystem are adversely affected by the discharge of pollutants into the water, atmosphere and soil.

Chemical Substances Management |
|
|
| Some chemical substances cause environmental pollution and can affect human health and the ecosystem as a result of long-term accumulation. To manage these substances, we have established a chemical substances control system to minimize the amount of toxic chemical substances released into the air, water and waste. |
