System and Internal Audit
NEC's Environmental Audit System
Each of the companies and sites within the NEC Group independently and in detail audits its own organization (divisions and departments) through internal environmental audits. In the Environmental Management Audit that is conducted by the Environmental Management Division, environment specialist auditors (including approved environmental management system auditors) comprehensively examine and evaluate environmentally sound product development, environmental impact reduction, risk management, and ISO 14001 conformance. These specialists emphasize the relationship between the environment and the operations of each division, including the effectiveness of the internal environmental audits.
The results of these audits are verified in a review of ISO 14001 undertaken by an external auditing authority using NetAudit and alternative audit* methods. NEC affiliates audit their environmental activities effectively through a mutual environmental audit system.
In addition, NEC performs Legal Compliance Audits to further ensure compliance with laws related to the environment, safety, and health.
Mechanism of Environmental Audits and Reviews at NEC
* Net Audit: This ISO auditing method involves external auditing authorities accessing documents from their own offices via the Internet and freely examining and evaluating regulations and various records, thus increasing the quality and efficiency of these audits.
Internal Environmental Audits
Internal environmental audits are evalution of each NEC Group company planned and undertaken by the companies themselves, covering all departments related to business activities such as sales, technology development, production activities, products and services, maintenance servicing, and contributions to the environment and society. The environmental auditors are assessed after they make audits to ensure they are of high quality.
