Environmental Management System

At MHI Group, the Environment Committee is chaired by the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), who takes charge of environmental management, and made up of members selected from the domains and segments, and corporate units. The committee plans and drafts policies and initiatives shared throughout the Group and deploys them across all Group companies via the domains, segments of each business, and corporate units.

MHI Group Environmental Management Organization

  • Environmental audit system

At MHI Group, two levels of audits are conducted including one by each domain, segment, and corporate unit on their respective organization as well as one by the environmental secretariat at MHI headquarters on the environmental management division of each domain, segment, and corporate unit. As a general rule, the respective domains, segments, and corporate units conduct internal environmental audits at the works, plants, and other facilities in Japan they oversee to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations and to conduct physical, on-site verification of operational conditions. Based on the Group’s environmental policy, these audits confirm that environmental management associated with addressing climate change and pollution as well as water conservation have been properly employed. The environmental secretariat at MHI headquarters conducts audits on the status of compliance and environmental management of the environmental management division of each domain, segment, and corporate unit.

  • Reporting on breaches
