Water is used for many purposes, including the washing of parts, and is an extremely important resource for the business activities of the Olympus Group. We also recognize the importance of water resources from the viewpoint of biodiversity conservation. We are committed to the reduction of water consumption in our business operations through cascading (the repeated use of water between the intake and discharge stages), the development of production methods that reduce water consumption, leak prevention through facility inspections, and other methods. At the wastewater discharge stage, we strive to minimize the environmental impact through various measures, such as the maintenance and management of wastewater treatment facilities, and wastewater quality control.
