Companywide Promotion Structure
Environmental Management Structure
Taking a proactive stance on environmental management and its efficient introduction, Funai Electric has created an environmental management system based on ISO 14001. We have nearly completed efforts to acquire ISO 14001 certification for our principal worksites in Japan and overseas. (Click for Certification Status.) Furthermore, we have created a companywide system to promote environmental management.
Under this structure, we have in place the 14001 Promotion Committee to encourage environmental preservation activities at worksites. The Human Resource Department serves as the committee's secretariat. We have also established the Product Environment Committee, which focuses on product environmental preservation activities. This committee's secretariat is the Product Environment Office. These two committees play a driving role in the Company's environmental preservation efforts.

Environmental Education
As part of our efforts to educate and train employees about ISO 14001, we establish training themes and conduct environmental education accordingly. We also conduct training periodically to make employees aware of the activities being conducted according to Funai Electric's Environmental Policies and to raise environmental awareness.
In addition, to promote self-directed environmental activities we periodically conduct ISO 14001 internal auditor training.
