Environmental Policy
Based on environmental policies, all employees work toward environmental preservation.
In 1998, Alpine established an environmental policy and implemented full-scale environmental preservation activities, based on the corporate philosophy. In 2003, we revised our conventional policy to further step up environmental preservation activities.
Environmental Policy
Main Policy
Our aim is to reconcile the often contrary goals of environmental friendliness and business efficiency by keeping our operations "fast," "light," and "transparent" as we fulfill our social responsibilities as inhabitants and stewards of this planet.
Specific Actions
1． Fast － Quickly answering the needs.
(1) Not only will we maintain domestic and international environmental standards, we will take the extra initiative and responsibility to set and maintain new standards.
(2)We will keep a close watch on trends throughout our society as well as the needs and wants of our customers concerning environmental practices, and rapidly respond accordingly.
2． Light － Less weight, less waste.
(1)We will develop products with full consideration of environmental safety and protection by decreasing the weight, cutting down on use of harmful chemicals and improving resolvability.
(2)We will conduct our day-to-day business operations putting a minimal burden on the environment-preventing pollution, saving precious resources, recycling wherever possible, and decreasing the amount of waste.
3. Transparent － Communication and education.
(1)Regarding environmental practices, we encourage and support individual initiative in all our employees and will actively educate them to improve their environmental awareness.
(2)We also start environmental activities on our own initiative, harmonizing with the environment and with society.
4. Practical plans for environmental preservation.
(1)We will implement a company-wide comprehensive system for environmental protection/preservation and promote continual reforms and technological renovations to those ends.
(2)We will make concrete plans and achievable goals, and devote the appropriate resources and funds necessary to realize them.

Environmental Management and Implementation Structure
The entire Alpine Groupe promotes green management.
In 1997, Alpine set up the Alpine Environmental Management Committee, the lead organization for deliberating and controlling environmental problems throughout the Alpine Group. We also set up the Environmental Management Working Group （WG） consisting of experts from different fields to cope with today’s increasingly complex environmental problems.
