Through consulting with the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA), we learned that the “Integrated Management System” is the most appropriate rather than obtaining ISO 9001 (quality-related) and ISO 14001 (environmental) certifications separately in light of the Company’s business model and corporate scale. Based on this policy, the Company obtained both certifications simultaneously as an integrated system. The Integrated Management System is a comprehensive method to establish a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) pattern integrating not only quality and environmental concerns but also overall company management issues, and it also establishes a base to enable easier improvements in compliance, internal controls and issues that prioritize CSR.     Because of the extremely small scale and the small number of employees as well as the small-scale manufacturing facilities and equipment of the Company, which is unusual for manufacturing companies, energy-saving activities such as turning off lights and electric equipment during lunch breaks, using both sides of paper and microcopy, etc., are not included as targets of the environmental ISO certification. Instead, our basic target is to reduce the social and environmental burden through product features. In a recent example, we quickly addressed lead-free products.
