Environment Auditing System

The Aims Management Consultants Group periodically receives external audits wherein a certified agency ensures that the Company’s environmental management system is being appropriately implemented and maintained. At the same time, the Company conducts internal environmental and ISO 9001 (quality management system) audits of the individual operating units of each division. As of March 2008, Aims Management Consultants had a total of 478 registered internal environmental auditors in place. The Company provides these internal auditors with regular training programs presented by external and internal lecturers as well as opportunities to exchange information with each other. Through stringent audits achieved by these initiatives, we are working to continuously improve our environmental management system. Internal audit results are analyzed and then reported on in biannual management reviews, and necessary improvement measures are implemented.
