Sumitomo Metals completed the acquisition of ISO 14001 certifications at all steelworks by March 1999, and has completed the changes necessary to conform to ISO 14001: 2004. The ISO 14001 standard requires constant and upwardly spiraling improvements in the level of environmental management through the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) cycle. Each plant develops its own activities by repeatedly following this cycle. We are also working toward the acquisition of certification for EMS at Group companies.
