8.1 Control of Environmental Impacts

Control will be performed so that there is no deviation from the items specified in Section 7, “Legal and Other Requirements,” above, or other items agreed to, and that there will be no environmental accident or pollution impacting the environment.

a. Control of matters that appear to have a significant impact on the environment Control methods should be elucidated for matters believed to have a great impact on the environment. These control methods should clarify those of the following matters that are considered to intensify the impact on the environment if control is not done expeditiously:

i. Matters concerning the maintenance of relevant facilities

ii. Operating control and methods of using relevant facilities

iii. Control of the storage, use, and disposal of chemical and other substances used

iv. Especially concerning matters related to relevant laws, regulations, and so on given in Section 7, “Legal and Other Requirements,” above, clarify the control items, frequency, and control range specified in the laws and regulations. and comply with them. Furthermore, if deemed serious, items that are not regulated by law should be handled the same as if they were.

v. Clarify other items that are required to prevent pollution or accidents from occurring.

b. Monitoring and measurementsPerform control procedures in accordance with the specified control methods. Maintain for the specified periods records such as measurement results that include results of controlled items that are specified by laws and regulations. Furthermore, measurements shall be taken using measuring devices traceable under national standards and shall be performed with methods and by measuring institutions prescribed by law.

8.2 Measures for Accidents and Pollution Incidents

In case an accident causing environmental pollution or an environmental pollution incident has occurred or may occur, in order to minimize any impact from these, countermeasures as well as persons responsible, persons to carry out the countermeasures, and methods of communication should be clarified in advance. Such methods should have procedures that make it possible to perform the measures in a practicable way. Furthermore, if necessary, they should include communications, reports, and procedures for measures directed at parties outside the company.

8.3 Corrective Action and Preventative Action

If the measurement results for the items specified in Section 8.1, “Control of Environmental Impacts,” exceed the control range, corrective action should be taken quickly so that they return to the control range.

If the preceding paragraph is relevant and in cases relevant to Section 8.2, “Measures for Accidents and Pollution Incidents,” the cause of the matter should be clarified, and preventative action should be decisively taken so that the matter does not occur again.
