The TOPPAN Group has formulated the following basic policies on chemical substance control.

We refrain from the use of hazardous chemical substances as a basic rule. We may, however, resort to the use of hazardous substances when their use is legally permitted and no alternate technologies are available. Even when these latter conditions apply, we properly control the substances and take steps to reduce their usage or replace them with substitutes.

Every chemical substance used within our business operations is monitored. We seek to eliminate obstacles to environmental conservation in advance by voluntarily improving our methods for substance control as a business operator.
