Environmental Management System
MegaChips understands the importance of protecting the planet for future generations. Based on this understanding, we are committed to achieving symbiosis between our business and the environment, contributing to a greener and cleaner Earth. To achieve this, we have developed an environmental management system complying with ISO14001.
We are working on protecting the environment by manufacturing eco-friendly and recyclable products by developing lower-power-consuming and downsized products, reducing chemical substances that impact on the environment, and conducting green procurement by adopting our unique Green Procurement Guidelines, promoting eco-office activities that focus on conserving energy and resources in our offices, and conforming to laws, regulations, and other environmental policies from a compliance perspective.
