Environmental Management Promotional Structure

Environmental Management

To engage in the protection of the global environment as a united Group, we have declared common policies and goals and developed management systems based on a common manual. We are pursuing continuous improvements with the aim of solving a variety of issues.

Organization and Promotion System

ROHM Group is working to continuously improve environmental issues by establishing and operating a group-wide environmental management system in accordance with the international standard ISO 14001.The Environmental Conservation Committee established at the ROHM head office plays a central role in managing the environmental impact caused by the products we manufacture and the activities and services at each of our bases, and horizontally disseminates improvements identified through internal audits at each of our bases to all group companies.

The Environmental Conservation Committee is a subordinate organization of the EHSS General Committee*, in which directors with executive authority and divisional managers participate, and is responsible for appropriately managing significant environmental risks within ROHM Group.

The Environmental Conservation Committee is chaired by an executive officer, and the subcommittees working on various themes, such as climate change, effective use of resources, chemical substance management, and biodiversity conservation, manage environmental risks in cooperation with the Environmental Management Office, which serves as the secretariat of the committee.Each subcommittee formulates targets, measures, and evaluations for each theme, and reports progress and results to the Environmental Conservation Committee on a regular basis. In addition, the EHSS General Committee evaluates and confirms whether the PDCA cycle of the Environmental Conservation Committee is being properly implemented, and has established a system to maintain and improve the accuracy of the management system.

Internal Environment Audit

To confirm the effectiveness of Group companies' environmental management systems and the status of their compliance with relevant legislation, ROHM's head office audit team conducts an overall internal environmental audit once every two years through on-site visits. Other objectives of this audit are the continuous improvement of the systems and the elevation of environmental performance.

Environmental Liaison Conference

Environmental Management Responsible Officers and Environmental Managers of each site in ROHM Group come together once every two years to hold an Environmental Liaison Conference, where they share their annual targets and implementation plans. At the Conference, the attendees confirm the state of progress at each site and consider environmental issues for the Group as a whole.(The event was cancelled in FY2021 due to the impact of COVID-19.)

In FY2019, discussions were held with a focus on CO2 emission and water consumption estimates for 2020 and forecasts for after 2020 as well as reduction measures. A decision was made to strengthen measures to reduce the environmental load of ROHM Group as a whole (i.e., improve environmental performance), and we are promoting related measures.
