Olympus is working to reduce emissions of nitrous oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) by managing boilers, which are the source of NOx emissions, under its own standards, which are more stringent than the regulatory requirements. Specifically, the standards require the maintenance, management and improvement of facilities through ongoing facility inspections and combustion management, and through the measurement of exhaust gases at least twice a year. SOx emissions are being reduced through a shift to fuels other than heavy oil, which is a key source.

Olympus has also adopted its own standards, which are more stringent than the official standards, for the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Under these standards, Olympus is working to maintain, manage and improve treatment facilities.
