Pentel formulated its Environmental Principles in 1996 to fulfill its social responsibility as a corporate citizen of the global community and established an organization for environmental management and promotion in 1997. We also established the Corporate Environmental Management Committee in 2003 to facilitate company-wide environmental activities with particular focus on production sites, which are considered to have greater environmental impact than other locations.
Environmental Principles (Established in 1996)
●Basic Philosophy
As a good corporate citizen in the global community, Pentel recognizes the importance of responsibility for the community.

We increase the environmental awareness of employees and promote environmentally friendly corporate activities to create a society where people can live in harmony with the environment.
