Environmental Protection Policy

Principles
KIT actively promotes conservation-and-environmental-protection aware education and research. This awareness comprises continued attention to an increased sensitivity to nature. We create technologies which involve, or can be shared by all, in harmony with the environment and which benefit our spiritual welfare.
Contributing to the advancement of science and technologies in alignment with the above awareness and developing a sustainable society are the cornerstones of our policy.
