Environment-Conscious Product

Social Background

Recently, environmental risks have been recognized and causing increasing concern across the world, including those related to climate change, resource depletion, waste treatment, and growing demand for water resources. In order to reduce these risks and create a sustainable society, it is necessary to deal with the environmental impact of daily-use products. Accordingly, companies are required to develop products and technologies that contribute to environmental protection in consideration of the entire life cycles of their products, from the procurement of raw materials to the products’ manufacture, transportation, use, and disposal. Companies also need to make better use of renewable energy, thereby contributing to the solution of environmental issues, such as climate change and resource depletion.

NOKʼs Policy

In order to contribute to the reduction of environmental impact, the NOK Group is fostering the development of products that contribute to the development of next-generation eco-friendly technologies, giving consideration to the entire life cycles of its products, including the procurement of materials, manufacture, transportation, use, and disposal.
