Top management conducts a company-wide environmental management review twice a year to discuss the progress of the Global Environmental Action Plan and important matters related to the continuous improvement of the management system.
For specialized matters, we have established subcommittees and Legal Control Divisions, which have been assigned the role of leading the entire TOTO Group, including domestic and overseas group companies, in terms of goals and measures.

Promoting an Environmental Management System

The TOTO Group has introduced ISO14001 to continuously improve activities and mechanisms for addressing environmental issues.

ISO14001 certification has been obtained by subcommittees and Legal Control Divisions that oversee the environmental conservation activities of the entire group, as well as the manufacturing divisions (including domestic and overseas group companies) and factory management divisions, which have a large environmental load and impact. In addition, the sales divisions (including domestic and overseas group companies), which have a relatively small environmental burden and impact, are promoting environmental activities under the supervision of subcommittees and Legal Control Divisions.
