Measures and Promotional Systems Adopted for Protecting the Environment
In September 1995, Niigata SANYO Electronics Co., Ltd. (now known as SANYO Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Niigata plant) acquired a BS7750* Certification. This was the first time that a Semiconductor plant had acquired this certification, and it was only the fourth Japanese company to have acquired it. Other companies in the group subsequently acquired the same certification, one after the other.
* BS7750 is a specification for an environmental management system introduced in UK.
ISO14001 generally superseded BS7750 and established in 1996.
