Tapex

Environment Policy

Tapex recognizes that proactive responses to environmental changes and the safety and health of workers are key elements of sustainable management. Based on this, we have established and run a company-wide environmental management system that can proactively take preventive actions for environmental issues and environmental management activities, and create a safe working environment by thoroughly controlling safety accidents and health risks.

Environmental and health & safety management system in operation

In order to systematically implement environmental and health & safety management, we have obtained the international standard of environmental and health & safety management system (ISO 14001, ISO 45001) certification. Based on these systems, we improved the risk factors within our premises to prevent environmental and safety incidents, and strengthen the health of our executives and employees.

In addition, we plan to expand the various systems for the health of our employees in the future.
