Surveys and Measures Taken on Soil and Groundwater Contamination

Efforts regarding soil and groundwater contamination

At sites where soil or groundwater contamination has been found, we are taking measures to prevent the contaminants from affecting surrounding areas and leaking outside the site.
We continue to periodically monitor groundwater and report our purification and observation results to the government for confirmation.
