Sanden Environmental Charter

In 1993, the Sanden Environmental Charter was established as a voluntary plan and revised in 1997 in response to the issuance of ISO 14001 in 1996, an international standard for environmental management systems, and in consideration of the importance of corporate environmental preservation activities. The Charter has been shared, as the basic policy for the Sanden Group’s environmental activities, by all Group companies in Japan and overseas.
