Promotion of environmental management

In FY2024, FIG (India) acquired ISO14001, completing our acquisition of this standard at all global production sites. Each of our global sites is enhancing their mindsets toward environmental protection and promoting region-specific environmental risk countermeasures. Going forward, the Futaba Group will continue to make concerted efforts to reduce environmental impact, and to steadily take on the challenge of environmentally friendly manufacturing.

State of compliance with environmental laws and regulations

Futaba strives to be widely supported and loved by the local community. To this end, we consider the living environment of residents near our factory and have concluded pollution prevention agreements with each municipality. We manage operations by setting even stricter voluntary standards to meet these requirements.
Regarding the quality of factory wastewater, we monitor measurement trends and maintain purification tanks and drainage systems within the factory to prevent any exceedance of standard values. In terms of noise, we work to reduce noise levels by monitoring noise during nighttime operations, carefully selecting production items, and reducing noise from scrap collection boxes.
