Environmental management system
SoftBank has established an environmental management system, developed Environmental Action Guidelines, and put in place an administrative framework to promote environmentally conscious corporate activities and actively engage in environmental conservation.
We are aiming to improve the environmental sustainability of our corporate activities by focusing on the prevention of global warming, the promotion of mobile phone recycling, and the conservation of resources.
As public awareness of environmental issues grows, corporations are facing more diverse demands to provide environmentally friendly products and services, to adhere to regulations governing environmental protection, and to achieve energy conservation and resource saving through smart business practices. To respond swiftly to these trends and demands, SoftBank has incorporated a PDCA (plan, execution, confirmation, improvement) cycle to guide our environmental management system and improvements are made on a continuous basis.
