Nippon Steel's Environmental Initiatives
Five priority areas for achieving the SDGs
In order to achieve the SDGs, we have identified five priority areas based on our Basic Environmental Policy and are working on various environmental issues.
Specific initiatives in five priority areas
Recognizing that efforts in the five priority areas are important for the realization of a sustainable society, we are steadily implementing measures in each of these areas.
