The Mabuchi Group periodically evaluates and reviews its environmental management systems to continuously raise its level of environmental excellence.
Types of Environmental Audit
Regular audit conducted by the certifying organization BSI (Headquarters)
Internal environmental audit of overseas affiliates conducted by the Headquarters
Environmental audits are an essential way of confirming and verifying that the environmental management system meets the standards and is properly operated. Environmental audits are roughly classified as follows:
- Surveillance audit by an external certifying body (ISO14001)
- Internal environmental audit by an environmental audit department of the Headquarters for each department of the Headquarters and each Mabuchi Group company
- Internal environmental audit carried out by environmental audit departments of overseas affiliates
- Environmental audits by our customers for Mabuchi and by Mabuchi for our suppliers
Outline of Environmental Audit
The Headquarters' environmental departments carry out internal audits on the suitability and management of the environmental management system, and the company's adherence to it. They but also to evaluate the results of environmental targets. They interview employees to know how pervasive environmental awareness is throughout the company. Furthermore, we make information available to the whole Mabuchi Group concerning excellent environmental management techniques and any matters that internal environmental audits have found to need correction. Through such activities, we will improve the environmental management level of the entire group.
