Strengthening steps to prevent water quality incidents at the Kakogawa Plant

In Japan, damage from heavy rainfall due to unseasonable weather has been on the rise in recent years. At the Kakogawa Plant, which makes conveyor belts, we are shoring up measures to prevent leaks from oil water separators due to heavy rainfall, reinforcing sewage tanks, and setting up floodwalls, among other things. Also, from a business continuity plan (BCP) standpoint, we are conducting emergency response training for oil leakage incidents.
