Environmental
Conservation andAction
By: Gasmin, Maria Frances
P.
Definition:
Conservation is defined as judicious use to avoid wastage of
materials and degradation of environment. Conservation of
environment involves the conservation of the natural resources.
The non-renewable resources have to be conserved as they cannot
be replenished. The reserves of the resources such as fossil fuels
are limited and man is heavily dependent on these resources for his
day to day needs. The renewable resources too have to be
judiciously used. Though they are replenished, they are subjected
to a lot of pollution that renders them useless.

Some Action Points to Protect or
Improve the Environment
 Biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste material have to be disposed after separating
them.
 Compost heap or a compost bin can be used to recycle waste food and other biodegradable
materials.
 Avoid unnecessary packaging of products.
 Plant more trees. They help in absorbing excess carbon dioxide.
 Observe World Environment Day (5th June).
 Never dispose left over chemicals, oils, or other harmful substances down the drain, or
dump them under the ground, or in water bodies or burn them in the garden. This causes
pollution.
4
 Don not burn any waste, especially plastics. The smoke may contain polluting gases.
 Use unleaded petrol and alternate sources of energy and keep the engine properly tuned
and serviced and the tyres inflated to the right pressure, so that vehicle runs efficiently.
 Avoid fast starts and sudden braking of automobiles.
 Walk or cycle wherever possible. Walking and cycling can help to keep you fit.
 Use public transport wherever you can, or form a car pool for everyday travel.
 Send your waste oil, old batteries and used tyres to a garage for recycling or safe
disposal; all these can cause serious pollution.

Action Guidelines for
Environmental Conservation
13
1. Global environmental conservation is
a critical challenge shared by all
humans. We are committed, therefore,
to fulfilling our responsibilities by
assisting in the realization of an
environmentally harmonious and
sustainable society as one of our
management priorities.
14
2. We will make efforts to contribute to
society by developing highly reliable
technologies and production processes
while accurately understanding the
needs related to the prevention of global
warming, conservation of resources, and
preservation of the ecosystem.
3. Members of the board in charge of environmental
conservation are responsible for facilitating appropriate
environmental conservation activities. Departments
responsible for environmental conservation should endeavor
to promote and ensure environmental conservation activities,
including improving environment related rules and
regulations and setting goals for environmental burden
reduction. These departments should also confirm that their
environmental conservation activities are conducted in a
proper manner and ensure that these activities are
maintained and improved.
15
16
4. We will promote globally applicable
business activities with the aim of
understanding and reducing
environmental burdens at every
stage, including product research and
development, design, production,
distribution, usage, and final
disposal.
5. We will investigate and review the
environmental impact caused in the course of
our business processes. We will also introduce
excellent technologies and materials useful to
safeguard the environment, in other words, to
reduce environmental burdens through energy
and resource saving, recycling, chemical
substance management, consideration for the
ecosystem, and other measures.
17
6. Our environmental conservation
efforts are not only to be focused on
observing international environmental
regulations and those of national and
local governments, but also on
conserving the environment by
implementing voluntary environmental
standards when necessary.
18
19
7. Regarding globally-applicable
business activities, impact on the
local environment and community
are to be considered. In addition,
measures that meet local
communities’ requests should be
implemented.
8. We will educate our employees to
take action in order to obey
environment-related laws, raise their
global environmental awareness, look
upon society from a wide point of view,
and from a broad vantage point
encourage their interest in
environmental conservation.
20
9. We will evaluate potential
environmental problems and prevent
them from occurring. In the event
that any environmental problem
occurs, we will take appropriate
measures to minimize the
environmental burden.
21
22
10. We will make efforts to disclose
information on our environmental
conservation activities to our relevant
stakeholders. We will also actively
communicate with these stakeholders so
as to strengthen mutual understanding
and forge cooperative relationships with
them.
