for Machine Vision

We have taken a proactive stance on environmental problems in terms of a critical theme of management, as a company that is based in the environmental city of Kyoto where Kyoto Protocol was adopted, and expands our presence around the world. Specifically, we are actively promoting the observance of environmental laws and conventions, the thrift and effective utilization of resources and energy in business activities, and the reduction of environmental load resulting from the use of products that we manufacture.

Environmental policy

Kyoto, Japan- CCS Inc. recognizes that the implementation of environmental action plans is a critical matter and also a social responsibility as a corporation. With our corporate creed of "Advancing Society with the Science of Light”, CCS aspires to become an exemplary model for conservation efforts worldwide.

Environment: We shall improve upon our product development and manufacturing capabilities in order to best assist our customers’ in their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, electricity consumption, and use of potentially hazardous substances through our LED lighting solutions.
Recycle: We shall make efforts to reduce the environmental impact through environmentally friendly product designs.
Chemical Compliance: We shall administer strict control over the usage of potentially harmful chemical substances for the environment, and will comply with all internationally accepted laws, regulations, and practices.
Preservation: We shall establish a management system for promoting environmental conservation, and preventing pollution.

1-1 We examine suppliers, change product designs, and procure parts and materials in compliance with the RoHS Directive. Applicable products are tested and inspected for "RoHS compliance" against the following standard.

*Standards for "RoHS Directive-Compliant Products"

Lead	1000ppm max.
Mercury	1000ppm max.
Cadmium	100ppm max.
Hexavalent chromium	1000ppm max.
PBB	1000ppm max.
PBDE	1000ppm max.

(Items that are exempted in the RoHS Directive are excluded from these standards.)

[What is the RoHS Directive?]

The RoHS Directive is short for the "restriction of use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment." As a directive, it restricts the use of specific hazardous substances for new electrical and electronic equipment marketed in the EU on or after July 1, 2006, and restricts the use of six substances, which are (1) lead, (2) mercury, (3) cadmium, (4) hexavalent chromium, (5) polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and (6) polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

1-2 We have further expanded applicable substances of the RoHS Directive and have formulated "CCS Green Procurement Guidelines" as a standard to take the lead in procuring components and materials with the environment taken into account.

[CCS Green Procurement Guidelines]
These guidelines illustrate an attempt toward procuring items which will reduce environmental impact over time. In addition, we have also implemented self-imposed controls to investigate chemical substances used in component manufacture, and improve communication with our suppliers. This will allow us to accommodate internationally recognized REACH regulations.

We strive to establish and maintain its environmental management system in conformity with requirements of ISO14001 in order to continually control environmental concerns in accordance with our environmental policy and effectively promote environmental conservation activities.
We will aggressively direct efforts at offering solutions to environmental issues by supplying our eco-friendly LED lighting.
