Komatsu is committed to employee education with regards to good environmental practices. Under our basic framework, provision of education is divided according to two unique categories according to type; Dissemination of common knowledge falls under the oversight of the Head Office, whereas specific vocational training is managed by respective divisions.
In FY2022, we focused on the online education programs for training and improving the competence of internal auditors on the environment and safety.
Environmental education for new managerial-level employees, which was begun in FY2014, is currently being provided online.
Despite the fact that we already meet the legislatively mandated quota of personnel with environment-related certification, we intend to implement further training in order to increase this number.
