To prevent its business activities from having serious impact on regional bio-diversity, the Sanyo Group addresses
management of chemical substances and protection of water resources, and at the same time, makes constant efforts to protect bio-diversity through preservation of forested areas, protection of rare creatures etc.
At the Hanyu Plant of Kanto Sanyo Semiconductors Co., Ltd., a "Zero Water Discharge System" has been established to recycle water used in the production process for effective use in the plant. In addition, the plant has created a biotope space on the premises which is used to protect and cultivate a protected species "Aldrovanda vesiculosa," known as the waterwheel plant, by utilizing recycled water. Cultivated plants are divided and given to neighboring elementary schools etc.
for use as supplementary study material.
