Roland Environmental Principle / Policy

Environmental Principle

Roland DG bases its environmental policies and practices on the concept that environmental issues are common to all mankind, and that they contribute to the preservation and welfare of both our society and the global environment.

Environmental Policy

Our Headquarters, and factories in Miyakoda and Okubo are designed for the development, design and manufacture of computer peripheral devices. Accordingly, our environmental management system is based on the following policies. Roland and its factories will:

1. Comply with all environment-related laws and other requirements, and will prepare their own standards and procedures to address environmental issues. In addition, Roland factories will continually work on improving environmental management based on the environmental policies they have set;
2. Reduce and recycle industrial waste to promote effective resource utilization;
3. Prevent environmental pollution caused by chemical substances;
4. Promote product development and design practices that take into account environmental issues such as conservation of resources and power;
5. Set environmental objectives and targets for each department and enlist the help of each employee to achieve and exceed these goals. In addition, Roland will periodically review its environmental objectives and targets and make revisions as necessary;
6. Display the company's environmental policies in posters, on our intranet home page and in booklets for distribution to employees company-wide — all part of a comprehensive communications plan to ensure every employee understands the policies. Policies will also be featured on our Internet home page for easy viewing by the general public.

Environmental Management System

To continuously reduce the burden on the environment, we started working on building an environmental management system, established an environmental policy, created an organizational structure, and set up mid-term environmental targets and yearly environmental targets in April 1999.

Today, each department at these factories sets its own target, involves each individual staff member to achieve it, verifies the results, and promotes improvements. In February 2000, our Headquarters obtained ISO 14001 certification and in February 2005, the Okubo factory was registered. In January 2006, the ISO certification was transferred to ISO 14001:2004 and the Miyakoda factory (which became operational in December 2005) was registered.
