Harmony with the Environment
Olympus' activities are guided by respect for human health and safety, and for the natural systems on which human health depends. By ensuring that our technology and business activities are in harmony with the environment, we contribute both to society and the environment. Described below is our basic philosophy on the environment as a corporate citizen, together with specific principles and policies designed to put that philosophy into practice through our activities.
As manufacturers, we must ensure not only that products provide superior performance, but also that they will not harm human health and safety or disrupt the vital systems of nature. By creating environment-friendly products that are safe and environmentally sound, we help to maintain social and natural environments in which sustainable development is possible.
Outlined below are some of the initiatives taken at Olympus Group business sites as part of our contribution to the prevention and solution of today's increasingly serious environmental problems, including measures to prevent global warming and resource depletion, and ensure appropriate management of chemical substances.
Olympus is determined to be an environmentally progressive company in keeping with its "Social IN" philosophy. We approach this task through a plan-do-check-act cycle, that begins with the establishment of clearly defined targets and directions based on long-range perspectives (plan), followed by the implementation of these plans (do) and the assessment of outcomes in relation to targets (check), leading ultimately to the realization of our environmental policies (act).
The Olympus Group actively implements environmental initiatives in partnership with stakeholders both inside and outside of the company.
