Basic Environmental Policy
Based on our Basic Environmental Philosophy, and in line with our environmental initiatives outlined in our Charter of Corporate Behavior and Code of Conduct, we are working to reduce the environmental impact of all aspects of our business activities.
【Basic Environmental Philosophy】
As a company that develops, designs, manufactures and sells computers, tablets and system solutions, we
consider it paramount to use environmentally friendly methods as we develop our products and services
and carry out our business activities, guided by the Dynabook Group's business philosophy of "With
sincerity and creativity, we offer enhanced value and contribute to the development of society”.
We are conscious that every company and individual must play a part in environmental conservation
initiatives, and in addition to complying with all environmental laws, regulations and regional
agreements, we carry out environmental activities to achieve greater value, harmony with the planet, a
low-carbon society, a circular society and a society that coexists with nature, with the aim of
contributing to the building of a sustainable society.
