Subsidiary Management in our Group
In principle, the Environmental Management System of Kanadevia Group covers its consolidated subsidiaries, including overseas Group companies. The business formats of Group companies include those with manufacturing facilities, those primarily engaged in engineering and field construction, and those with only offices and no manufacturing facilities. To ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations, prevent environmental risks from materializing, and promote environmental preservation activities, we select items to be managed at each applicable business site based on the industry, impact on the environment and ecosystems, and other factors, and collect environmental information. In addition, we include subsidiaries that have manufacturing facilities in the scope of surveys and environmental audits conducted by the Sustainability Promotion Department.
Environmental Risk Management
Regarding group-wide risk management, the ERM Department was newly established in March 2025, and this department is spearheading the development of an enterprise risk management framework.
