（ Scope of Application of Environmental Management System ）
Green Procurement
i-PRO will promote environmentally friendly procurement initiatives based on the Green Procurement Standards. We would like to request our suppliers to continue to support and cooperation with our green procurement initiatives.
Promotion of Green Products and Green Factory
i-PRO is working to continuously reduce CO2 emissions, waste volumes, and chemical substance emissions during activities at business sites and factories in order to develop and manufacture environmentally friendly products. In particular, we manage chemical substances as follows.
Chemical Substance Management
■Management of Chemical Substances in Products
i-PRO strictly observes domestic and international environmental regulations, and works to procure materials with low environmental impact with the cooperation of our business partners.
■Management of Chemical Substances at Factories
i-PRO strictly observes domestic and foreign environmental regulations, selects chemical substances that have harmful effects on human health and the environment, and conducts production activities with consideration for safety and environmental impact.
■Chemical Substances Management Rank Guidelines
i-PRO publishes "Chemical Substance Management Rank Guidelines" that stipulate prohibited and controlled substances in products and factories, and requests suppliers to comply with them as necessary.
The "Chemical Substances Management Rank Guidelines (For Products)" prohibit the use of chemical substances (environmentally hazardous substances) contained in raw materials, parts, etc. that make up products manufactured and sold by i-PRO, and require management. The purpose of this is to clarify the substances that are considered hazardous substances, to ensure thorough awareness within our company and to our suppliers, and to improve the environmental quality of our products.
The “prohibited substances” and “controlled substances” specified in the “Chemical Substances Management Rank Guidelines (For Products)” correspond to the chemSHERPA control substances. For chemSHERPA declarable substances and explanations, please refer to the manual included in the chemSHERPA data creation support tool (latest version) posted on the chemSHERPA website below (top page → data creation support (tools, etc.)).
