Komatsu follows a basic educational framework in which general knowledge education is overseen by the Head Office, while specific training that reflects the unique characteristics of each division is conducted by the respective business units. In particular, the Newly appointed manager training (by function), New employee training, and Development and manufacturing (introductory) courses include content related to energy efficiency, waste reduction, and water use reduction.
In FY2025, we focused on online training programs to develop and enhance the skills of internal auditors in environmental and safety practices, as well as regulatory education.
Environmental education for newly appointed managerial employees, which has been conducted since FY2014, is also provided through online training.
While we already meet the legally required number of personnel with environment-related certifications, we are actively promoting planned acquisition to further increase this number.
