Zero emission activities and how they relate to economics

Our zero emissions activities reflect our intention to minimize waste destined for landfill disposal, by promoting waste recycling. ibe believes it is essential to give proper consideration to real-world economics while reliably implementing risk management, so as to steadily continue our zero emissions activities. In our Level 1 zero emissions criteria, therefore, we include targets for recycling and final disposal (landfill) rates, as well as for cost-cutting. We have also established stricter Level 2 zero emissions criteria. To reach Level 2, we have to meet the reduction rate targets for externally discarded waste volumes, while also striving for greater reductions in cost and risk. Characteristically, ibe's zero emissions activities are integrated into management, from the perspective of both risk management and economy.
