Environmental Regulation Compliance
Preventing Environmental Pollution
The azbil Group conducts regular monitoring and measurement of exhaust gas and wastewater, maintains abatement systems, properly manages chemicals, and conducts emergency preparedness training.
Concerning the reduction of VOC emissions, we agree that the four electrical and electronic industry associations should strive to prevent worsening of the situation compared to fiscal year 2010, and we are promoting this as a Group-wide target.
Compared to the actual result in 2010 of 55.9 metric tons, the actual result in 2022 was 33.9 metric tons, a reduction of 39.4 %.

Compliance with PRTR Law
We stopped using dichloromethane, which is a substance with serious environmental impact, in fiscal year 2009, and we were phasing it out before that time. We are also making progress in reducing other chemical substances.
