Significant Environmental Accidents / Biodiversity
Vision for 2030
A company that values water resources and biodiversity, and protects the richness of the sea and land
Approach and Policy
Significant environmental accidents have major impacts on the environment and communities, and can
result in loss of the trust that is a prerequisite for business continuity. In particular, the SMM Group’s business
activities have the potential to cause environmental pollution through such means as the leakage of
mining waste and chemicals. By improving our facilities and management to address such risks as well as
intensifying natural disasters, we are working to prevent significant environmental accidents and mitigate
impacts in the event of occurrence.
We are also working to sustainably utilize and manage water resources and to reduce our emissions of
harmful substances into the atmosphere and water, and are developing environmental conservation activities
that place importance on biodiversity.
In FY2022, there were no significant environmental accidents which would have a serious impact on the
environment or society.
