ABS and
the Environment
ABS recognizes the
importance of preserving the natural environment that
sustains all life on the earth for future generations and
thereby ensuring that all humanity can attain the dream of a
healthy and happy life. ABS will do this by combining
ongoing innovation in environmental technology with
environmentally sound business practices.
ABS aims for greater eco-efficiency
in its business activities through maximizing the efficiency
of non-renewable energy and resource use and providing
products and services with greater added value. Efforts will
focus on reducing environmental pollution by complying with
all applicable environmental regulations and reducing the
environmental impact of energy and resource use on a
continuing basis. Four basic approaches to create a
sustainable society are: 1) reduction of energy consumption
and emissions of greenhouse gases, 2) improvement in
resource productivity, 3) stringent management of specific
chemical use, and 4) preservation of biodiversity.
In its business operation, ABS is
committed to the continuous improvement through a global
environmental management system program that covers a
wide-range of environmental activities throughout the entire
business cycle.
