1.Basic Approach to the Environment
The SUNDRUG Group has established environmental management, which simultaneously accomplishes environmental conservation and business growth, as a material issue (materiality) and is promoting it in an integrated and strategic manner based on the fact that environmental conservation is in the interest of everyone living on the planet.
To put environmental management into practice, we have established an environmental policy and a voluntary environmental action plan to serve as the code of behavior for our various efforts. We take responsibility in all of our business fields and are working to solve environmental issues through our business activities while working together with various stakeholders.
