Extensive energy-conservation measures have been taken at all processes in the production of steel products, and we are continuing to work for reduction of CO2 emissions and waste-free use of energy.
It is essential that we ensure the continued availability of our limited natural resources. With this awareness in mind, we are carrying out the "3 Rs" (reduce, reuse, recycle).
We are introducing new equipment and improving operations in order to reduce the environmental-impact substances contained in gas and wastewater emissions, and working to create a better environment.
