*October Special - ing CORPORATION's Environmental Action


ing CORPORATION and the ing GROUP are deeply involved in environmental action. Our 'proposal for comfortable life' enterprise, based in Saitama, is involved in supplying environmentally friendly Liquid Petroleum (LP) Gas. We promote ecologically friendly action through our daily activities and contribute to the creation of a society that lives in harmony with the environment through our 'ECOappeal'. See http://www.smile.co.jp for details
Flying the Ecoflag ing CORPORATION is flying the Ecoflag from their Konosu City (1-1-29 Sakasagawa, Konosu city, Saitama prefecture) head offices, which is clearly visible from the JR Konosu station. The company is the flagship for the ing GROUP and has implemented environmental policies, achieving ISO 14001 certification in September 1999. The company is a sponsor of GSA and we hope they'll be flying the flag from the company's roof everyday to show their support.

ECO appeal
Man and nature once lived in harmony. At that time man desired only what he needed and he found it in abundance in nature. Then, as civilization developed, man placed his faith in civilization and turned to economic development in the pursuit of wealth. As a result we have made incredible progress and achieve material wealth and convenience. However, we have also lost something as a result - the beautiful environment from which we came. As a result of exploiting and separating ourselves from the environment, the environment has begun to react. Problems such as global warming, acid rain, desertification and ocean pollution are warning signs that, if ignored, will make this planet uninhabitable to man and lead to the end of civilization. In September 1999, ing CORPORATION and ing GROUP achieved the International Organization for Standardization's ISO14001 certification

Through our actions we hope to develop closer ties with our customers and all that share this planet. The beauty of the natural earth is a gift and we hope that everyone will come to understand and support our activities.

ISO 14001 Certification Guide Published
We have published an ISO 14001 Environmental Management Guide for small and medium size businesses. It shows the processes involved in achieving certification and should serve as a handy reference. The book is detailed and clearly shows the fundamental focal points in attaining certification. The B5 size book runs for 360 pages and is now in its third edition.

ing CORPORATION at the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council On the theme of 'how our company changed after ISO 14001 Certification', ing CORPORATION made an appearance at the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council, made up of 22 countries of the Pacific Rim, including Japan, the United States of America, Canada and various South East Asian countries. At the PECC 2000 science and technology workshop held from 12th -14th July 2000 in Taiwan, Toshikazu Hasumi, ing CORPORATION's Environmental Administration and Development Chief, talked about reaching ISO certification and its effects at the 'Environmental Management and ISO14000' session.

Through incorporating the process and implementation of the ISO14001 Certification into the basic philosophy of our organization, employee awareness and action, as well as the company's business systems, have greatly improved. Our goal is to be known as a company of excellence amongst local consumers, as well as other businesses.
