Prevention of Pollution: Targets
Targets
MC conducts an environmental performance survey for all operating companies to manage pollution prevention and promote waste reduction, reuse, and recycling initiatives on both a non-consolidated and consolidated basis. On a non-consolidated basis, we set and monitor sustainable, effective reduction targets for waste generated through Head Office activities, aiming to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste via the operation of environmental management systems (EMS).
