Environmental Promotion Organization

Our headquarters-based Environmental Committee promotes Bando’s environmental management system.

Environmental Audit System

Bando’s environmental audits are divided into internal audits and those by ISO examining authorities, based on ISO14001. Audits are conducted on the basis of yearly plans to isolate issues needing implementation or corrective or preventative measures. Items of particular importance are further reviewed by management, an important part of the environmental management system. Also, internal standards are set and monitored to prevent the occurrence of defects.
