Nikon first entered into environmental protection activities in 1970, when it formed its "First Pollution Response Committee". This committee was renamed the "Pollution Prevention Committee" in 1971, and again in 1973 to be known as the "Environmental Improvement Committee". This gave birth to our program of more practical environmental conservation activities.
The environmental management organization was restructured in 1992 with the enactment of the "Nikon Basic Environmental Management Policy", and in 1999, as part of the expansion of and adjustments to the system, we established an "Environmental Administration Department" (changed to "Environmental & Technical Administration Department" in 2002) within the company. The current environmental management organization ensures that we are constantly kept abreast of new Japanese or international laws, treaties or regulations, or modifications to existing ones, as well as the ever-changing needs of society.
