Relationship with Society
In order to establish trust with customers, we attach a great deal of importance on the disclosure of environment-related information through Social and Environment Report, Site Report (mainly describing ISO 14001 activities at our plants), Toyo Seikan's Homepage, as well as exhibitions and advertisements in magazines. Since 2006, a stakeholder meeting has been held regularly to exchange views and opinions with consumers.
Corporate Governance
The Toyo Seikan Group considers that the enhancement of corporate governance is the most important issue in its business management, and is continuously working towards this goal in order to contribute to society through its corporate activities while maximizing corporate value and continuing new development and evolution based on the fundamental philosophy that it has adhered to since its foundation.
Compliance
With each passing day, there is increasing demand from society for compliance in corporate activities. The Toyo Seikan Group is consistently working to improve its compliance promotion activities so that all executives and employees will always take the correct course of action.

Toyo Seikan, as a total packaging manufacturer, consistently recognizes the influence our products & services has on the environment, and has made efforts to reduce environmental impacts. In addition, a necessary organization is formed to execute the environmental objectives & goals in order to correctly structure an environment management system.

Environmental Education
Environment-related education at plants
As part of the ISO14001 environment management activities, each plant regularly provides all employees with general education and special education opportunities, aimed at sharing expert knowledge and skills. Furthermore, each plant actively participates in environmental seminars held by communities and local public bodies.
Environmental seminars at the head office
Starting from 2000, an annual environmental seminar is held at head office as part of an environmental education program, which features guest speakers from outside the company. In the seminar held in June 2008, there were roughly 90 participants from the Toyo Seikan Group.
