Responding to Soil and Groundwater Pollution

We have reviewed our internal rules established in fiscal 2006 in response to soil and groundwater problems and will handle such problems based on these revised rules for soil and groundwater surveys, policies, and disclosure.

In the future, at the same time as performing planned surveys and, if pollution is discovered, implementing cleanup operations and countermeasures appropriate for the conditions at each business site, we will also disclose relevant information in collaboration with government authorities.
